Booklist online has published its list of the Top 10 Business Books of 2008. It is only October, folks, though I suppose that everything that will be published this year is already in the hands of reviewers, and we all need to get a jump on our holiday shopping — Halloween cometh, after all.
On the list, with links to BNET content about the books, or to author interviews:
- The Big Switch, by Nicholas Carr
- “Biography of the Dollar,” by Craig Karmin
- “A Bull in China,” by Jim Rogers
- ”Commodore: The Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt,” by Edward J. Renehan
- “From Betamax to Blockbuster,” by Joshua M. Greenberg
- The Game-Changer: How You Can Drive Revenue and Profit Growth with Innovation, by A.G. Lafley and Ram Charan
- “How Toyota Became #1,” by David Magee
- “It’s Not about the Money,” by Brent Kessel
- “The Middle-Class Millionaire,” by Russ Alan Prince and Lewis Schiff
- A Sense of Urgency, by John P. Kotter
A brief sketch of each book is included at the link. It’s a smorgasbord of choices — financial advice, investing advice, business narratives, business how-tos. Something for everyone. I personally have read only one of the books, “The Big Switch,” and I would recommend it.
