The Denationalisation of Money - Friedrich Hayek

Good Economics for Hard Times: Better Answers to Our Biggest Problems - Abhijit V. Banerjee

Virtuous Leadership - Alexandre Havard
This book argues that in a world of selfish economics, it is the most virtuous who have the greatest opportunity to thrive, so long as this moral disposition can be applied correctly.
The case for good jobs - Zeynep Ton
This book focuses on a business getting the best out of its resources. It argues for a reduction in the gulf between an organisation’s aims and its employee’s desires to adopt it.
Right kind of wrong - Amy Edmondson

How Big Things Get Done - Flyvbjerg + Gardener
