Every year, Financial Times and Goldman Sachs team up to present a £30,000 (a bit under $50,000 at the moment) prize to the year’s best business book, and they’ve narrowed the candidates down to six:
- Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism, George A. Akerlof & Robert J. Shiller
- Good Value: Reflections on Money, Morality and an Uncertain World, Stephen Green
- Imagining India: Ideas for the New Century, Nandan Nilekani
- In Fed We Trust: Ben Bernanke’s War on the Great Panic, David Wessel
- Lords of Finance: 1929, The Great Depression, and the Bankers who Broke the World, Liaquat Ahamed
- The Match King: Ivar Kreuger and the Financial Scandal of the Century, Frank Partnoy
The book judged to deliver “the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues” will be announced at a ceremony in London in late October.
