If your boss isn’t reading the six finalists for FT’s Business Book of the Year, you’d better hit Monster:
- The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture (John Battelle)
- The World is Flat: A Brief History if the Globalized World in the 21st Century (Thomas Friedman
)
- Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything (Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner)
- Fast Second: How Smart Companies Bypass Radical Innovation to Enter and Dominate New Markets (Constantinos C Markides and Paul A Geroski
- The Travels of a T-Shirt in the Global Economy: An Economist Examines the Markets, Power and Politics of World Trade (Pietra Rivoli
- Disneywar: The Battle for the Magic Kingdom (James B Stewart
Personally, I think Seth Godin’s All Marketers Are Liars should have been on the list, but that’s because I’m both a marketer and a liar. I’ve heard great things about the t-shirt book. Also about The Search. By the way, BoingBoing readers can get a sweet 35% discount on The Search through B&N.
[First seen @ Seth's blog, though that's not why I plugged AMAL...it's just a great book. Will post on that later. Or am I lying?]
