Book of Business Quotations

A collection of witty and entertaining business quotations brought together by the experts at The Economist

An inspirational, informative, and insightful compendium of business wisdom, Book of Business Quotations brings together a remarkable collection of business quotations. Going well beyond just the most common, widely-known remarks from major industry figures, the book unearths little known comments from forgotten experts, novelists, and other non-traditional sources, placing them alongside the words of business luminaries to craft a truly comprehensive volume.

Compiled partly from talking to businessmen, journalists, writers, and professors about quotations they have found particularly perceptive, and partly by trawling the reference sources, business publications, and The Economist itself, the book is structured alphabetically by subject, with approximately 50 sections.

• Brings together words of wit and wisdom about business from a diverse range of sources, including CEOs, novelists, business gurus, and politicians
• Includes remarks on all manner of current business topics, from global markets to e-commerce, from business history to consultants
• Quotations grouped by subject for easy access
