Business Adventures
John Brooks's twelve New Yorker tales of corporate triumph and disaster, from the Ford Edsel to a famous Wall Street panic.
John Brooks collected twelve of his New Yorker pieces on moments of corporate drama, from the flop of the Ford Edsel to a scandal at General Electric to a run on the British pound. Rather than offering formulas, Brooks tells detailed stories about how companies and the people inside them actually behave under pressure. Warren Buffett recommended it to Bill Gates, and both have called it a favorite business book.
