2026 Summer Reading List from Derisky Business
On Derisky Business, the economic security podcast from the Center for a New American Security, we like to ask all our guests to recommend their favorite books listeners should read to learn more about their area of expertise. We’ve compiled all the recommendations we’ve received over the last year, alongside some of CNAS’ own recent work on economic security, for the 2026 edition of the Derisky Business summer reading list. Happy reading, and if you missed any episodes of the podcast you can catch up here.
