10 Great Books on Neoliberalism
1) The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order - Gary Gerstle
Fantastic recent addition to this literature, places neoliberalism within the context of the decline of the post war consensus, as well as the multiple forces behind the ideological shift.

real omg
An empirical econ paper needs two things: 738 robustness checks concluding we can’t really ever fully be sure of internal validity in the appendix, and one (1) wild back of the envelope calculation indicating that the result is world-changing in the discussion section
Now I've come across several instances of people writing, essentially:

'Let me provide a very rough estimate. Don't take this number literally, because it has several flaws.'

And then their number becomes cited as the canonical figure on the topic.
