Rating: Summary: Awesome reality check Review: This book does a terrific job at showing how one's philosophy will impact one's success (or failure) in business. It also reminds readers that the long term cannot be ignored, or one will fail in the long term.

Rating: Summary: Very relevant! Review: This book is an excellent collection of essays about very relevant topics. Most people think business and philosophy are two opposite ends of a spectrum. That idea - the false dichotomy between the theoretical and the practical - is one of the most destructive 'ideas' of our time. This book does much to combat that view, but on a case-by-case basis. For wider-ranging analysis, one should read "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" by Ayn Rand.
Rating: Summary: An excellent book, but beware of crafty smears Review: This book is excellent, and I highly recommend it. I hope, however, that casual browsers of the Customer Reviews will realize that many of the ostensibly "pro-Ayn Rand" reviews on this web site -- such as the previous one by "A Reader, September 13" -- are smear jobs written by Ayn Rand's enemies, not genuine reviews written by Objectivists (who are, with some exceptions, literate and rationally polite people).
Rating: Summary: A Vital Addition to the Businessman's Toolbox Review: This book will be of value to the bussinessman who seeks to understand the role of ethics in bussiness and the reasons behind the many political threats to his liberty.No producer should be without this book.
