Book nineteen: A Dismal Science by Peter Mountford

Vincenzo D'Orsi is a high-ranking economist at the World Bank. When he is pressured to cut off aid to Bolivia if a specific person is elected, he goes public. His statements to the press bring about the collapse of his carefully crafted life, leaving him to ponder what comes next. 

A thoroughly enjoyable, well written read. I highly recommend this book.
