　　A
　　In between running one of the world’s largest charitable agencies and acting as Microsoft’s technology advisor Bill Gates manages to find time to read books both long and short. Now Gates — who has been labeled a “greedy” reader — has released a list of his favorite books of the year. All of the books are standout reads according to the billionaire most of which are focused on business and economy.
　　Here are Bill’s top four picks for the year (with parts of his full review of each book).
　　Business Adventures by John Brooks
　　Brooks’ collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates’ favorites. He re-read it again this year labeling it the “best business book I’ve ever read.”
　　“Shortly after we met Warren Buffett lent me this collection of New Yorsiness articles from the 1950s and 1960s. I loved them as much as he did. Brooks’ insights（洞察力） about business have aged beautifully and they are as true today as ever.”
　　Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty
　　Piketty’s novel hit the shelves in August 2013 and sparch discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year. Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non-fiction work to discuss the topic.
　　“As I told him although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions I agree with his most important conclusions: inequality is a growing problem and that governments should play a role in reducing it.”
　　How Asia Works by Joe Studwell
　　Studwell’s work which was published in May this year addresses how countries such as Japan South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth and why other countries have failed to do the same.
　　“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful. It provided ample food for thought for me as well as the whole Agriculture team at our foundation. And it left us thinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.”
　　Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization by Vaclav Smil
　　Smil’s books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft founder — one of his books makes Gates’ list almost every year. “Making the Modern World” came out late last year and explores the global use of materials from silicon to wood and plastic.
