What B Schoolers are reading this Summer

An interesting article on BWeek.
Summer Reading for B Schoolers

Here are some books on the list:

• The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005)
• The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist Examines the Markets, Power, and Politics of World Trade (John Wiley & Sons, 2005)
• The Kite Runner (Riverhead Trade, 2004)
• Tempered Radicals: How People Use Difference to Inspire Change at Work (Harvard Business School Press, 2003)
• The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time (Penguin Press , 2005)
• A Whole New Mind: Moving from the Information Age to the Conceptual Age (Riverhead, 2005)
• Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Scholastic, 2005)

Somehow all the books have something to do with Globalisation, Poverty and Harry Potter ;-). I think that all three are inextricably related. Globalization and poverty are definitely linked. And what better an example of Globalization than the fame of Mr. Potter's exploits. Imagine an Indian teen who has been brought up on a diet of Bhoots, Jadoogars and Rakshashas reading about an orphaned true blue English kid battling Sorcerers, Ogres and what not.
