Reviews

[Cara]

Published in 2007 but reading strangely like it was written a much longer time ago, this is a middling "business advice" book that like most other business advice based on Sun Tzu's Art of War is a little too focused on "defeating" one's theoretical enemies. It's fine for what it is, assuming you think capitalism is the be-all, end-all of economic theories. I don't.

War is won long before it takes place in the battlefield.
