Business Book of the Year 2024 — the longlist

Books on Donald Trump’s finances and Bill Gates’ influence go head to head with titles about the challenges of artificial intelligence, the impact of demographic change and how business can do the right thing, in the race to be named Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year.

Other titles vying to be judged the “most compelling and enjoyable” business book of 2024 range from the memoir of an investment bank trader to an in-depth exploration of the changing concept of the corporation, from an assessment of Amazon’s dominance to a powerful account of the tension between sustainability and resource demand.
