An original, widely-applicable concept from one of the world's foremost economists. Obliquity will be The Tipping Point for the new decade.

He shows why the most profitable companies are not always the most profit-oriented; why the richest men and women are not the most materialistic; and why the happiest people are not necessarily those who focus on happiness.
