Customer Review: Most business presentations rely on fancy graphs, professional graphics, and slick tools to get their point across. But sometimes, the most effective way to make your case is to whip out a napkin and start drawing. Dan Roam covers that subject in the book The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and... more info
Customer Review: Even a weak ideology as Marxist Collectivism Doesn't Deserve Such a Weak Defender as Klein. This book is filled with Economic fallacies and sophisms.

Customer Review: Jeffrey Sachs has thought about many subjects at great depth, and writes about them with great learning and clarity. He seems to have thought about all the key points and many details. Could we do X about some problem? He's thought about it and has an opinion, or lots of them! I imagine he'd be a... more info
