Book Boom -- Texts on Finance and Economics Are Flying Off the Shelves

Budding economists used to be the only ones to crack the covers of business books, but today people from all walks of life are taking an interest in economics. Since the financial crisis hit, books with titles like "Crash Proof 2.0", "End the Fed", or "The New Empire of Debt" have become bestsellers. Whether they've lost trust in their financial advisors or just want to learn more about how the crisis happened, people can't read enough about economics. And publishers and book sellers are laughing all the way to the bank. Our reporter Marion Hütter finds out about the latest trends in business books and visits printing firm Clausen & Bosse, which produces books for the international market.
