Why it endured
Bill Gates calls it the best business book he has ever read — a recommendation passed to him by Warren Buffett. Twelve classic tales from the world of business, originally published in The New Yorker. Brooks' portraits of corporate triumph and failure remain as instructive today as when they were written.
