Objective is to reconnect with good books and develop the habit of continuous learning.

3	The Wealth of Nations: The Scourge of Tax Heavens	Fri 01 Jan 2021 00:00 UTC+5	3 hrs	Gabriel Zucman	Economy	We are well aware of the rise of the 1% as the rapid growth of economic inequality has put the majority of the world's wealth in the pockets of fewer and fewer. One much-discussed solution to this imbalance is to significantly increase the rate at which we tax the wealthy.

4	The Effective Executive: The Definitive Guide to Getting the Right Things Done	Coming soon...	6 hrs	Peter F. Drucker	Leadership	The measure of the executive, Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done."
