The covers below represent s + b's Top Shelf—the best books of each category.
As Theodore Kinni writes in his introduction to the essays:
Two years after the financial collapse, the idea of hunkering down and waiting for a return to business as usual—as people did in previous recessions—seems a less and less viable strategy. But what should you do instead?
In this edition of our annual review of the year’s best business books, you will find a reading list that offers intriguing and compelling answers to this question.
We've been following this list since 2003, and you can peruse past year's lists with the links below.
