Another great year for reading and learning. Back when I was a manager I bought books each yr for team’s senior managers to inspire/expand. Here’s a list of books I might have purchased for holiday 2023. I might not agree but definitely learned and made me think. Happy 🕎 🎄❄️ 1/

Tokyo Vice
by Jake Adelstein
An American journalist offers a unique, firsthand, revelatory look at Japanese culture from the underbelly up, in a book where he recounts his time as a crime reporter in the seedy side of Japan where extortion, murder, human trafficking and corruption were the norm.A Conflict of Visions
by Thomas Sowell
Controversies in politics arise from many sources, but the conflicts that endure for generations or centuries show a remarkably consistent pattern. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes this pattern. He describes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the "constrained" vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained" vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. A Conflict of Visions offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes circle around the disparity between both outlooks.
