My bookshelf section of some of @michaelxpettis recommendations over the years. What I admire about his intellectual curiosity is he values authors who offer even one brilliant insight, regardless of how much he disagrees with their other views.  Most of these authors align with my thinking, but even those I often disagree with (Lardy, Hudson) have taught me a great deal.
The lesson is to approach reading with enough humility to recognize that valuable insights can exist alongside views you contest.
Please add any books/authors I am missing.
