Know someone who can’t start their day without scouring the pages of the Financial Times or Wall Street Journal? This list just might get them to diversify their reading portfolio with a new book: from Nobel Prize winning economist Robert Shiller, an exploration of the incredible power of narrative to shape markets; from Adam Smith, guidance for living a good life; for leadership and strategy advice that really stands the test of time, the ancient wisdom of Plutarch and Sunzi; lessons from the Industrial Revolution for the age of AI; fresh takes on GDP and Henry Hazlitt; and a bold look ahead at how the “intangible economy” can help managers and investors grow businesses and portfolios.
