5.0 out of 5 stars Very relevant!, 12 May 1999

By A Customer

This book is an excellent collection of essays about very relevant topics. Most people think business and philosophy are two opposite ends of a spectrum. That idea - the false dichotomy between the theoretical and the practical - is one of the most destructive 'ideas' of our time. This book does much to combat that view, but on a case-by-case basis. For wider-ranging analysis, one should read "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal" by Ayn Rand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book that deserves reading, 31 Mar 1999

By A Customer

The article titled 'Why Businessmen Should Be Honest' is one of the best summations of Objectivism that I have read. In a simple and complete way this article traces from the fundamental alternative of life or death, all the way to honesty. This one article makes the whole book worthwhile. Third, the articles by Ayn Rand and Leonard Piekoff are short and sweet. Buy this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars One cannot succeed in practice without a good theory., 25 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Or: The moral is the pracitical.

An excellent collection of essays including two glorious diamonds by Ayn Rand (that have been in limited print/availability). Thanks to ARI for making these essays available, and Rand's other unpublished works available--as she wished.

This is an excellent book to use to introduce your business friends to the importance of philosophy--and why businessmen need it. It is the second book you should give them--right after Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. As Atlas Shrugged was ridiculed and misrepresented, so is this book to be despised and smeared by all the lice out there--all the more reason to buy several copies of it!

1.0 out of 5 stars Simplistic and weak
This is a book of fifteen short, unconnected articles (almost a book of disconnected pamphlets) with a tenuous link to business. Read more
