Judges have selected six finalists for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
“In the heat of this contest, other titles started to melt away, including Adam Haslett’s Union Atlantic, only the second novel to make the award’s longlist, and All the Devils are Here, the soon-to-be-published anatomy of the subprime crisis by Bethany McLean and Joe Nocera.
