Title: Why Businessmen Need Philosophy: Library Edition by Ayn Rand, Susan O'Malley ISBN: 0-7861-9860-5 Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks Pub. Date: 01 January, 2000 Format: Audio CD Volumes: 5 List Price(USD): $40.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.2 (20 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: One cannot succeed in practice without a good theory.
Comment: 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 Thanks to ARI for making these essays available, and Rand's other unpublished works available--as she wished.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!
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent book that deserves reading
Comment: 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

Summary: A Book That Is An Accolade to Efficacious Businessmen
Comment: A productive modern businessman at his most efficacious should consciously hold as much pride for organizing his sphere of business as for the profits he earns as a result of that organization. Should he ever observe an intellectual's insistence that unregulated business development is the cause for economic ills--e.g., the unfairness of using private information about the market to make profits, when competitors cannot thus prosper since they lack this information. . .or the intellectual's insistence that foreign competition is bad for the American economy . . .or the insistence that any motive for the businessman's activity other than his delight in production and in the self-serving use of his wealth, Why Businessmen Need Philosophy will both inspire the listener and galvanize him to follow the right political and economic direction.
The book is also valuable to an honest, reality focused intellectual (even if he has grasped the essential truths of Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, which contains Rand's articles about basic economic issues). Why Businessmen Need Philosophy offers the truth about some technical, "abstruse" business methods, using historic examples to make them clear. (Several such methods are not covered in CUI.)
The style of the book's authors is simple and straightforward, which makes their articles accessible to every literate reader.
Why Businessmen Need Philosophy is an excellent companion work to CUI, because it applies economic principles in the latter to some highly specialized areas of the business world. If you read one article in this collection, read any of "Why Businessmen Need Philosophy" by Leonard Peikoff, "Wall Street Under Siege" by Richard Salsman, "'Buy American' is Un-American" by Harry Binswanger, "The Philosophical Origins of Antitrust" by John Ridpath, and "Antitrust 'Returns' With a Vengeance" by Richard Salsman--a suggestion based on the standards of lucidity, excellent grammar, and emotional impact.
