Review The Internet Entrepreneurs / ft com:So how do you turn the idea at the back of your mind into an Internet success? In The Internet Entrepreneurs, Chris Price reports on 13 key individuals from 12 top Internet companies with the aim of discovering what these people have done in order to succeed. In particular he is interested in how they have each broken some key rules of business, but survived. In fact, breaking rules happens to have been a central business decision in many cases and one that marked a turning point in the development of each company. For example, Bob Davis of the search engine Lycos broke the rules by walking away from a multi million dollar merger-he later made a better deal with another company. Jim Barksdale of Netscape broke the rules by giving the Netscape Web browser away, rather than selling it, in order to open up new markets. Jeff Bezos built Amazon into a known and respected online bookseller before committing the cardinal sin of muddying the brand by expanding to sell other goods. Price writes in an easy style combining his own thoughts with quotes from his chosen entrepreneurs. He gives readers a chance to draw their own conclusions as well as to learn from his experience as an IT journalist who has seen the good and the bad of the IT industry at close quarters. The Internet Entrepreneurs is required reading for the would-be Internet business leader looking for guidance on how to marry traditional business strategy with personal flair and intuition. -Sandra Vogel.

Review John Maynard Keynes: Fighting for Freedom, 1937-1946: 003 (John Maynard Keynes) / Viking Books:Robert Skidelsky completes his monumental three-volume biography of John Maynard Keynes with Fighting for Britain: 1937-1946. "We threw good housekeeping to the winds. But we saved ourselves and helped save the world". So Keynes is supposed to have described how the battling British won the economic war against the Axis powers. This volume of Lord Skidelsky's biography describes in full how the greatest economic mind of the 20th century volunteered his services during the Second World War. Having been rebuffed by the Treasury for most of the 1930s, Keynes' principal idea-using the Budget as a tool to regulate investment and consumer demand-came of age during the war years. Historians have often seen this sea-change in British economic policy as a case of needs must, but Skidelsky brings out the pivotal role Keynes himself played in winning over the politicians (especially the Labour Party) and the men in grey suits in Whitehall (some of whom turned out to be old chums from Cambridge days-which helped). But Skidelsky also provides accessible chapter and verse on Keynes' negotiations with the Americans over Lend-Lease in 1941-2, and over the contraction of the so-called "sterling area" of the British imperial economy at the end of the war. Keynes liked to think that ideas converted politicians, but the evidence here suggests blood, sweat and tears, all of which no doubt played a part in Keynes' premature demise. We also get vivid accounts of Keynes the don and the man of letters: sorting out college finances, advising on theatre, opera and ballet, dabbling in the history of political economy. [+]A fittingly comprehensive account of the final years of a multi-talented man. -Miles Taylor.
