Business Book of the Year?

The FT has out its "long list" of nominees for the FT/Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year. The picks aren't too surprising (despite being forced to leave out the FT's own Gillian Tett's excellent Fool's Gold), with a cross-section of financial crises and management self-help books, leavened by one peak-oil text and a few internationalization works.

What would you have put on the list? What, if anything, from 2009 said something useful about the business/economic/financial world in which we live?

Here is the FT's list:

• This Time is Different, by Carmen Reinhart & Ken Rogoff
• The Match King, Frank Partnoy
• Lords of Finance, by Liaquat Ahamed
• The Myth of the Rational Market, by Justin Fox
• House of Cards, by William Cohan
• In Fed We Trust, by David Wessel
• Animal Spirits, by George Akerlof and Robert Shiller
• Free, by Chris Anderson
• Waste, by Tristram Stuart
• Supercorp, by Rosabeth Moss Kanter
• How the Mighty Fall, by Jim Collins
• Why Your World is About to Get a a Whole Lot Smaller, by Jeff Rubin
• Clever, by Gareth Jones
• Imagining India, by Nandan Nilekani
• Good Value, Stephen Green
