Why read it?
1 author picked The Age of Heretics as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is an outstanding read! Art Kleiner has undergone an enormous amount of research on so-called heretics of the business world in the 20th century. Kleiner is a great writer, and whether you have heard of the heretic in question or not, it doesn’t matter.

From Steve's list on The best books to help you think about the future.
