Six titles have made it to the shortlist for the 2009 Business Book of the Year Award – two Depression-era histories, two books by serving corporate bosses, a blow-by-blow assessment of the US authorities’ reaction to the financial crisis, and a manifesto for a new economic theory.
The final decision on a winner will be taken by the judges on October 29, but in the meantime you can have your say on which book should win – whether on the list or not.
Here is the list – do you agree? Or are other books more worthy of a place on the shortlist?
