The New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) released its Summer 2022 Reading List for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

NZIER partnered with BusinessDesk to compile a list of books for the PM and her advisers to read to better equip them for the economic challenges of 2023.

BusinessDesk managing editor Pattrick Smellie says the exercise is meant to be thought-provoking and in good fun, and that the likelihood of Jacinda Ardern taking it seriously is low.

Some of the books Pattrick mentioned are Kāwai: For Such a Time as This, by Monty Souter and The End of the World is Just Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan.
