It's Andrew Carnegie's 173rd birthday, and the always excellent Jacket Copy recently had an insightful post on the man and his gargantuan importance to the free library system, pulling a quote from a speech of his from David Nasaw's excellent 2006 biography of the man, Andrew Carnegie.
Gloria McDonough-Taub at Bullish on Books chooses the three books she's most thankful for this year. They are:
The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life by Alice Schroeder,
The World Is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy by David Smick, Portfolio
The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression by Amity Shlaes,
The Book Design Review, which rarely covers business books (though Outliers has also showed up there recently), takes a look at Harvard Business Review Classics.
