Book Review: A list of books will be posted on Canvas, and each student will choose one and write a review similar to what one would see in business journals. The book review will be due on the last day of class.
The assignment is to write a 2000-word minimum book review essay of one of the following books (if you wish to do a book that isn’t on this list, please send it to me for approval):

Good Profit by Charles Koch
