I've read a decent amount of books listed in there, and I have to say, if any Goldman people internally have read more than half of those books, they probably aren't in investment banking any longer -- and running their own fund, or better yet, enjoying life and watching animal spirits tear eachother apart via capitalism

 

Cool, thanks. Anyone else got something?

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA
 

Very interesting lists which I'll definitely write down for the future. Would be interested to see if anyone had anything else.

Hi, Eric Stratton, rush chairman, damn glad to meet you.
 

but seriously: No one knows or has a McKinsey suggested reading list? Is this a joke or are all the McK's in here just not interested in given info out?

Where does this list originate from? And is it group specific? I can't imagine that the firm would want every HR temp to absorb the equivalent of a four year degree's worth of reading.

Good list though, I'm going to pick some of them up, I'm always looking for something for my mind to chew on.

This list from Goldman Sachs careers. This list is not for any specific group. I have divided them up into different groups. Feel free to check out my related post.

Stay Strong!
