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
