Business & Sports

Here's a page from the very beginning - l'an deux mille. Inspired by a Malcolm Gladwell review in The New York Review of Books, I argue that business, which actually resembles warfare, has nothing to learn from sports or athletics, which take the "war" out of warfare. Even I had to struggle to follow the discussion, but in every particular I managed to do so. Although the writing is suitably crisp, the thinking can be very dense, and, frankly, I was impressed by the amount of thought that the writer had put into these issues. I couldn't have written it.

Except I did.
