Buchtipps: Das sind die zehn besten Wirtschaftsbücher des Jahres

The German Economics Book Award, organized by the Handelsblatt in collaboration with the Frankfurter Buchmesse, Goldman Sachs, and R+V Versicherung, seeks to help people understand economics. This year, the award will be presented for the 20th time on October 8, 2026, in Frankfurt. The Handelsblatt, along with a jury of economists and entrepreneurs headed by Senior Editor Hans-Jürgen Jakobs, has selected ten books as the shortlist from the new releases of the year.

Publishers were allowed to submit up to three books, with over 80 titles initially presented to the editorial team.

These books aim to convince readers with topics such as geopolitical shifts, the growing dominance of tech oligarchs, artificial intelligence, and Germany's economic challenges. The award-winning book so far is "Menschlichkeit in digitalen Zeiten: Warum wir ohne lebendige Wirklichkeit nicht leben können" by Joachim Bauer. Published by Heyne Verlag München in 2026, the 320-page book costs 24 euros.
