Tax Reform in This Election Year: It's Not Likely
Which Credit Card Rewards Does the IRS Care About?FT.com reports that last Thursday my brother William D. Cohan's The Last Tycoons beat out Alan Greenspan's The Age of Turbulence to win the 2007 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
Reportedly Greenspan had his public relations firm arrange for him to fly to London on a private jet and to have a limousine at his disposal. At the last minute Greenspan canceled his trip to London but not without preparing a video of his acceptance speech. Alas poor Alan -- his video was for naught.
While Rachel Lomax, deputy governor of the Bank of England and one of the judges, said Greenspan's book was "source material for future historians as well as an entertaining read," The Last Tycoons was judged to have provided "the most compelling and enjoyable insight into modern business issues," in line with the official aim of the award.
