Summary: They get it!
Review: Finally, a book for a business audience by authors who truly understand the impact and proper role of technology. Its not techno-babble, and its not futurist pontificating at the 100,000-foot level. As Goldilocks would say, it's Just Right for anyone seeking to understanding the business realities of the post-dotcom world.

Summary: Forward Thinking
Review: The X-Economy was a brilliant mix of history, today's economy, technology, business direction, stories, and practical thinking. It is a book that is not only relevant for now but will serve as a reference for the future. I had a vague understanding of the paradox I was living in - the instability and yet the tremendous opportunity. - The X-Economy spelled it out in a well articulated, enlightening and enjoyable fashion. This book is important in order to make more intelligent personal decisions as well as business decisions.

Summary: Get up to Date
Review: This book will bring you up to date on some of the cutting edge things that companies are doing to make their businesses more efficient and to create entirely new businesses. It involves the Internet, of course. It would be nice if they could have gone into more detail, but that would have taken a much larger book.

Review: This is a terrific book! I completely agree with Lester Craft, Jr., editor-in-chief eCommerce Business magazine, that this is "the first in-depth explanation of the new world of B2B e-commerce, and how the emerging phenomenon of Internet exchanges is changing the rules of business." Thanks Thomas and Nathaniel for writing this book.

Summary: New World of B2B e-Commerce
Review: This is a terrific book. As Lester Craft, Jr., editor-in-chief eCommerce Business magazine said, this book is "the first in-depth explanation of the new world of B2B e-commerce, and how the emerging phenomenon of Internet exchanges is changing the rules of business." Everything is changing so quickly that the old rules on running a business do not necessarily apply now or guarantee success. This book, the x-economy, explains the basics of today's economy so that I'll be able to understand tomorrow's. Thanks Thomas and Nathaniel.
