To continue my 2018 reading list, I am adding here the books (including e-books and audiobooks), online courses, articles etc. I am reading throughout this year. I do a lot of reading (and listening while driving in Istanbul traffic) for my personal interest as well as my engagement as leader of the Working Group for Effective Ethics and Compliance in the Context of Turkish Culture at the Turkish Ethics and Reputation Society.

I am grateful for recommendations on further reading in these fields via the Comments.

Please note that I don’t bother with correct and consistent university-style formatting of literature references. For articles I give references and links as best as I have them available at the time of updating this blog.
