His books Once inGolconda, The Go-Go Years, and Business Adventures have endured as classics.

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.

評分《Business Adventures: Twelve Classic Tales from the World of Wall Street》這本書是世界首富Bill Gates推薦閱讀的商業書籍,據說是股神Warren Buffett推薦給他的。兩個人應該都是用經曆證明瞭的會做生意的人,因此這書還是值得花點時間看看的。 顧名思義,書裏講瞭真實發...

很精彩,文筆很厲害。金融世界裏,危機四伏。不管怎麼樣,相信明天會更好。 just when things looked darkest, good news began to arrive.
評分作者從頭到尾一緻地展示瞭何為文筆。他算是繪聲繪色的代言人瞭。逗號用得爐火純青。 對福特,礦井,英鎊的故事印象最深。前兩個對於汽車分析師和大宗商品分析師,藉鑒意義不少哦。而SEC和Fed高層通宵熬夜取得一個接一個成就,也讓人,如作者所說,扭轉瞭對於金融業高管的負麵看法。 大傢都是這個龐大而讓人生畏的係統中的蕓蕓一員。
評分商業寫作的另一條路,或教科書。
評分老派的幽默
評分雖然是60年代的好多事,但是依然有洞見。比如2D那些事,對現在3D打印機也有啓示。看著玩吧。反正insight這些東西就是要被反復提醒嘛。
