From Sun Tzu's venerable The Art of War to Sheryl Sandberg's contemporary bestseller Lean In, a concise and insightful guide to 70 of the most influential business books ever publishedThe world of business publishing is a curious place where one can find everyone from respected legends like Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs and Elon Musk to the most spectacular failures such as Enron and the sub-prime market. There are geniuses, strivers, academics and entrepreneurs, also charlatans and hucksters. There's even room for Donald Trump.This very readable guide examines the best of thousands of business books, covering every aspect of commerce and a broad time span. It includes some that might not be seen as 'business books' but nevertheless contain examples of the most powerful - or entertaining - insights into the world of business. Some of the books provide expert advice based on solid research, others, dubious management manuals that take a single flawed idea and stretch it to the point of absurdity. A 'speed read' for each book delivers a bite-sized impression of what the writer is like to read and a highly compressed summary of the main points of each book.
