These are some of the excellent recent books on economics and financial issues that you could safely pick up (assuming they've not got them already). There's a range of sub-topics, from the history of cotton and blow-by-blow accounts of the 2008 financial crisis, to a social explanation of money.

We've tried to pick books that were published either in 2015, or towards the end of 2014, so the people you're buying you gifts for are less likely to have read them already.

Don't just take our word for it - we've included a snippet from a review of each of the books.

Take a look at our choices.
