Bloomberg host Tom Keene reads textbooks

Linette Lopez of Business Insider writes about what “Bloomberg Surveillance” host Tom Keene reads on a regular basis.

Lopez writes, “We spoke to the Surveillance host about his reading list last week, and no surprise, it’s extensive.

“Sure, he reads Wall Street research, social media, and nationally syndicated Op-Eds just like you and I do, but he also has another trick up his sleeve:

“‘One mistake people make is that they refuse to read accessible text books and things that are major advances,’ he said.

“So yeah, text books.

“Keene also shared his seasonal reads with us. For the winter he’s all over Daniel Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow, and his book for the fall was Michael Spence’s, The Next Convergence: The Future of Economic Growth in a Multispeed World.”
