From Wall Street to Main Street, John Brooks, longtime contributor to the New Yorker, brings to life in vivid fashion twelve classic and timeless tales of corporate and financial life in America

What do the $350 million Ford Motor Company disaster known as the Edsel, the fast and incredible rise of Xerox, and the unbelievable scandals at GE and Texas Gulf Sulphur have in common? Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety; these notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened.

Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance. John Brooks’s insightful reportage is so full of personality and critical detail that whether he is looking at the astounding market crash of 1962, the collapse of a well-known brokerage firm, or the bold attempt by American bankers to save the British pound, one gets the sense that history repeats itself.

Five additional stories on equally fascinating subjects round out this wonderful collection that will both entertain and inform readers . . . Business Adventures is truly financial journalism at its liveliest and best.

Not an easy read...couldn't finish the whole book. Success needs luck, and failure has writing all over it.

查理芒格说过,如若资本主义没有失败就好像宗教没有地狱。作者用非常诙谐幽默而又洗练的表达,绘声绘色地讲述了12个精妙绝伦的商业冒险故事。给我的启发主要有两点。第一,顺势而为很重要,尤其在商业领域。第二,在此前提下,个人的努力对于企业的成功发展是必不可少的(人的因素很重要)。最喜欢通用电气和小猪店的故事。通用的故事在企业组织课上仔细讲过,但跳开模型从布鲁克斯笔下娓娓道来时真是让人啼笑皆非。小猪店的主人Saunders是个不折不扣的fighter,几次跌倒,几次站起来。对花街的那段polemics简直让人笑爆。其他的故事也都非常非常喜欢。以后有空也想积累人脉和时间写一些类似的故事,有太多有趣的故事值得这个时代去挖掘和了解。
