Next was "Varieties of Impact Investing," edited by Philip Balsiger, Daniel Burnier, and Noé Kabouche. This collection digs into the world of impact investing, largely finding it wanting from a variety of perspectives. I especially liked Kabouche's investigation of Geneva's impact investing ecosystem, as well as the section on impact investing in Nigeria (Elena Christodoulou and Shonali Banerjee). Highly recommend

Last was "Low-Paid EU Migrant Workers" by Catherine Barnard, Fiona Costello, and Sarah Fraser Butlin. This book is an excellent ethnographic dive into the migrant worker community in Great Yarmouth, exploring their living and working conditions in an already deprived part of the UK
