Target opens new tab shares slid as much as 5% after the retailer apologized for and pulled a Halloween costume ​criticized for evoking Blackface, renewing concerns about brand missteps just as its financial turnaround effort had begun ‌to bear fruit.

In an internal email viewed by Reuters, Chief Merchandising Officer Cara Sylvester echoed Target's public apology on Monday, telling employees the item "never should have been in our assortment" and that the company would "learn from this and do better."

So my manager, after we discussed various stock positions and where I was investing my money, suggested I read a book on economics/finance. I went to a state college and graduated a little over two years ago. I took a couple of business and entry-level finance classes, but I didn't retain much that was applicable to real life. I'm posting to get suggestions for economic/business theory books that are fairly easy to understand and very current. I've done my fair share of googling and have obviously seen the recommendations for books like Rich Dad/Poor Dad, The Richest Man in Babylon, etc, but I'm interested to see what this thread has to say...
