The Best Business Books of 2009

…So that’s your taxes. But where do your savings go? For that answer, turn to Peter Hargreaves’ In For A Penny, A Business Adventure, a plain-speaking run-down of the creation of investment giant Hargreaves Lansdown ? from its start in a spare bedroom to its 2007 float.
