A collection of true stories about money, the stock market, and high finance from the Gerald Loeb Award-winning "unbelievable business writer" (Bill Gates).

For decades, author and New Yorker staff writer John Brooks was renowned for his keen intelligence, in-depth knowledge, and uniquely engaging approach to the dramas and personalities of the financial and business worlds. With a style of prose that "turns potentially eye-glazing topics . . . into rollicking narratives," Brooks proved that even the bottom line can be moving, hilarious, and infuriating all at once (Slate). Here are three of his most fascinating works, which still resonate today.

Business Adventures: This collection of entertaining short features is a brilliant example of Brooks's talents, covering subjects such as the Edsel disaster, the rise of Xerox, and how corruption may be an irreparable part of the corporate world.
