The announcement came this morning for the long list for The Financial Times/Goldman Sachs Business Book of The Year.
You’ll see the list is heavily swayed by its headliners towards economic and global concerns, but this year they have taken a little wider view with the inclusion of books like The Art of Choosing and Union Atlantic.
