The 2005 picks of the best business books reflect economists' beliefs that reforms led by President Bush and the new Federal Reserve Board chair could improve the U.S. and global economies. Investors are hoping for pleasant surprises from the markets in 2006. And, if you want to invest for good returns, despite hurricanes, sluggish stocks, and rising interest rates, there's good advice here on how to go about it. The books also reflect how globalization and technological changes are influencing our lives on a daily basis, while continuing relentlessly to reshape industries, economies, and world politics.
The titles below accessibly analyze and explain these and more complexities. Librarians need to provide resources to their constituencies that will help them understand the economic phenomena impacting their existence and how they in turn can make informed choices that will affect how we all live.
Please note: some books may be missing from this list, as they may not be available.Our list may include different editions than originally listed |
