My idiosyncratic picks, all of them history: Civil War, David Armitage Meaning in History, Karl Lowith Manifest Destiny, Anders Stephanson The Deluge, Adam Tooze The Moral Economists, Tim Rogan The Guardians, Susan Pederson I also enjoyed properly getting to grips with Keynes, Du Bois, Schmitt and Freud for the first time.
