On my bookshelf… in the near future

April 13, 2009 9:29 pm

FT colleague watch: The award-winning-Gillian-Tett’s “Fool’s Gold” and Alan Beattie’s “False Economy” (reviewed here by Bill Easterly) – neither of them have given me a free copy yet. Cheek…

Dan Ariely’s “Predictably Irrational”, which I liked a lot, is being expanded to cover the credit crunch. I have the new chapters, haven’t read them yet – will soon.

Stefan Szymanski and Simon Kuper have a book coming in a few months called “Why England Lose”.

Also, I have just been tipped off about an exciting new book, but can’t say anything yet. Well, maybe just a hint.
