Bella | 80 comments I nominate How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities by John Cassidy. It's been on my TBR list for a while; nominated for the Pulitzer, non-fiction, in 2010.

I'll second Flash Boys. Sounds good. Spent my 20s in the City, so met plenty of those.

Hi Sanchi. Any book that is seconded will go forward to the poll that opens tomorrow. It is just a way of reducing a long list by ensuring at least two members want to read it
