As one might expect, business books examining the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the economy are now coming out. Adam Tooze, author of the definitive account of the Great Recession’s worldwide impact (Crashed), is back with Shutdown: How Covid Shook the World’s Economy. WaPo personal finance columnist Michelle Singletary has written the timely What to Do with Your Money when Crisis Hits: A Survival Guide.
There are also two new books on e-cigarette maker Juul, the current corporate villain du jour, both well reviewed and worth a look: The Devil’s Playbook, by Lauren Etter, and Big Vape, by Jamie Ducharme.
