An anthology Malcolm Gladwell has called "riveting and
indispensable," "The Best Business Writing" is a far-ranging survey
of business's dynamic relationship with politics, culture, and
life. This year's selections include John Markoff ( "New York
Times") on innovations in robot technology and the decline of the
factory worker; Evgeny Morozov ( "New Republic") on the
questionable value of the popular TED conference series and the
idea industry behind it; Paul Kiel ( "ProPublica") on the ripple
effects of the ongoing foreclosure crisis; and the infamous op-ed
by Greg Smith, published in the "New York Times," announcing his
break with Goldman Sachs over its trading practices and corrupt
corporate ethos.
Jessica Pressler ( "New York") delves into the personal and
professional rivalry between former spouses and fashion competitors
Tory and Christopher Burch. Peter Whoriskey ( "Washington Post")
exposes the human cost of promoting pharmaceuticals for off-label
uses. Charles Duhigg and David Barboza ( "New York Times")
investigate Apple's unethical labor practices in China. Max Abelson
( "Bloomberg") reports on Wall Street's amusing reaction to the
diminishing annual bonus. Mina Kimes ( "Fortune") recounts the
grisly story of a company's illegal testing -- and misuse -- of a
medical device for profit, and Jeff Tietz ( "Rolling Stone")
composes one of the most poignant and comprehensive portraits of
the financial crisis's dissolution of the American middle
class.
