I don’t normally see the National Reading Movement SG account share economic books so when it talked about Prosperity Without Growth by Tim Jackson, I made a note to borrow it.

To backtrack in time a little, I stumbled across a copy of Jeeves in the Yule-tide Spirit in the library last November. At the same time, I found the Four Weeks of Wodehouse challenge on Instagram.
