Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Hundred Business Books Why have we made this list? Because there is a demand for it, and we know it will be used. A few years ago books on business were scorned by business men, and for good reasons. They were few in number and very poor. They were nearly all quite preachy in tone, were built on the Log Cabin to White House plan, and were written by persons who had never done business and did not know business. If the present day scope of the term business books is still not well known to you, glance over the list of subjects that are covered by this volume, remembering that it does not claim to include more than an outline of the whole field. You will find. That the subjects begin with Ethics, Psychology and Personal Efficiency; that is, with morals of trade and industry, the brain of the human machine, and the art of getting the best possible service out of one's own mind and body. Here are subjects that are now thought to be proper for the study of a young man who wants to do something worth while in the indus trial world. They are today quite generally admitted to be business topics. Again let me say, that if you are not familiar with modern business literature it will pay you well to run through this whole list of the subjects with which the 500 books here listed deal. It will suggest to you the tremendous studies that have been made in recent years in the subdivision and specialization of those managerial activities which guide all our industrial life. It will go far, also, toward convincing you that we have passed the day in which bookishness was thought to'be a proper attribute of the student and professor only, and a hindrance rather than a help to the man of affairs. Where it used to be said in praise of a man, He is hard-headed, it is now said, as the existence of the books in this list quite clearly discloses, He reads! What I have just said could not be said so confidently if the books here listed Were merely published - and not used. But they are used, and to an increasing extent every day. It pays writers to write them, and'it pays publishers to produce them, or they would not have come forth in recent years in such a flood that of them all the 500 here named is only a small part.
