Book club. 'The economist of the month' award?

Hi everyone! From October we are starting to run a book club. Everything you have to do is to pick up any book you are interested in from the following list, read it and write a review (your opinion, your critical judgement and advice for another students). It is due to November, 1st.

THE BEST REVIEW WILL GAIN AN AWARD 'ECONOMIST OF THE MONTH' (which would perfectly suit your personal statement). Furthermore, be active in different sections of the economics club (economics pub, essay, etc.) in addition to the book club.
If you have questions, ask Rene (economics teacher) or Tatiana (A62).
Thank you.
