I've read none of them. I read the teaser summaries or capsule reviews and could not get excited. I do read a lot of books, but for these particular books to be the best of the best puts our literature in a sorry state. Most of the books chosen by the economist look to be formula books that will last a few weeks and then be forgotten. "Business books" almost always seem flimsy and without much more content than a single good idea or two drowning in a sea of case studies. As for what "significant thinkers" ought to be writing books -- well, that's another problem. When I try to think of really significant thinkers who have something meaningful to say, it's a pretty short list, whether they write or not.
