Customer Review: Does an excellent job of recounting the events and the people involved in the rise and fall of the hedge fund. The length of the novel is short enough to make it possible to read it in one go, the pace is fast enough, with none of the detours that authors are sometimes tempted to take (describing in... more info
Customer Review: I thought this book was an academic waste of time. Like sure when we use computers things are going to be disrutive, like in other industries.

Customer Review: OK, I admit, some of it can be a bit boring, especially the first couple of chapters. But the premise and his argument are great. A product manager who has not read this book is not a product manager at all!
Customer Review: This is a great tool for people in the industry, graduate students, anyone wanting to climb the corporate ladder. Read it times over and you'll find interesting points, applicable to personal career as well as corporate strategy. Straight forwward analytical set of tools.
Customer Review: This is absolutely the best book on basic economic thinking. It is filled with sound logical arguments for free markets. This book should be the starting point for anyone interested in politics and politically economy. Milton Friedman is "way out there" for many, but his debating skills are... more info
