16 must read business classics

I read an article recently about the best business books, and they were all recent publications. Nothing wrong with that, although some of the best books on the subject were written years ago.
The following books, written at least 10 years ago, the oldest written in 1926, have stood the test of time. They have been read my millions of people and are still among some of the current best selling books in the world. They range from academic to practical. They use a variety of styles. But each is worthy of a place within all our bookshelves and should be read by anyone serious about business – regardless of your age. If you've read them in the past, maybe it’s time to blow the dust off and read them again.

  1. Over the past few years, unemployment rates have increased to higher levels than ever before, which has resulted in many people deciding to start up their own small businesses instead. While small business ownership is a good thing, many entrepreneurs can in fact benefit greatly from using small business loans or other types of business funding to help them get ahead.
