The summer season is finally here, bringing long weekends, beach days and a welcome chance to make progress on the books that have been sitting on your nightstand. To help build your reading list, we asked dealmakers to share the books that have shaped the way they invest, lead and think. In the first installment of our two-part summer reading series, we’re spotlighting recommendations on finance, economics, AI, geopolitics, innovation and corporate strategy.

Tune in tomorrow for The Human Side of Dealmaking: Dealmakers Share the Books That Shaped Their Leadership and Perspective.
