What I Learned in Business School

One of my professors recently called Barbarians at the Gate (about KKR’s LBO of RJR Nabisco) the best business book ever written. I haven’t read enough good business books to make such a claim, but I did start reading Barbarians recently, and it’s a page-turner. So, at least it has that going. The prose is not great, but it’s good for the poor standards set by other business books. If the number of acronyms in that parenthetical didn’t scare you off, you can download a PDF copy of Barbarians at the Gate because some idiot, who doesn’t understand the concept or law of copyright, uploaded it to a file sharing site.
