The Profit Paradox
Jan Eeckhout is a research professor; fortunately, he doesn't write like one. Despite the serious subject matter of The Profit Paradox his style is engaging and conversational, and the book is light on its feet and commendably free of jargon.
Invisible Women
Why are women in the United Kingdom 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed after a heart attack? Or 47% more likely to be seriously injured in road traffic accidents?

Dignity
Seeking respect in back row America.
The Forger’s Spell
A talent for deception.
Disrupted
Candy walls and the cult of a company.
