The Enlightened Capitalists: Cautionary Tales of Business Pioneers Who Tried to Do Well by Doing Good by James O'Toole
4.0
I don’t read business books, as a rule, so the style and content of this book was pretty new to me. I learned a lot from it, and my understanding of capitalist enterprise was definitely expanded. It helped me to consider, as a corporate employee, where I want my career to go and the types of firms I’d like to work for. I’d probably give this as a gift to a business school student. Overall the book was clear and well-written, though possibly a bit overambitious. I listened to the audiobook, which was over 19 hours long, so I’d assume the book to be 500 pages or so, which is probably too long for the subject matter and intended audience. I could see myself buying this to have as a reference for the future, and returning to individual sections on their own.
