"Q. - What's your favourite business book you'd advise to young entrepreneurs and why?

From my favorite business segment: Too Big To Fail, Ascent of Money, When Genius Failed, etc. Books on applied psychology (Influence, Predictably Irrational, etc) are another way to round out primarily technological education :)"
