¡Adiós, liderazgo arrogante! ¡Bienvenido, liderazgo motivador! Henry Mintzberg, «el pensador más importante del mundo sobre gestión empresarial» según Tom Peters, ha reunido cuarenta y dos divertidas historias con un propósito muy serio: convertir a los líderes arrogantes en directivos motivadores. Mediante estos cuentos e ingeniosas metáforas que ilustran su pensamiento, Mintzberg desvela en qué se parecen un comité directivo y una abeja, relata los estragos causados por un joven MBA al tratar de mejorar la eficiencia de una orquesta sinfónica o reflexiona sobre como los recortes de personal se han convertido en la sangría del siglo XXI. El CEO más peligroso es el libro ideal para leer cuando te desconectes de internet o al acostarte si eres uno de esos directivos a los que les cuesta conciliar el sueño. Pero, como advierte el autor, no te ofendas por nada de lo que leas, pues algunas de las ideas más chocantes del célebre profesor son brillantes, aunque necesitan tiempo para que sean evidentes.

Freakonomics was a worldwide sensation, selling more than four million copies. Now Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner return with SuperFreakonomics, and fans and newcomers alike will find that this freakquel is even bolder, funnier, and more surprising than the first. SuperFreakonomics challenges the way we think all over again, with such questions as: How is a street prostitute like a department-store Santa? What's the best way to catch a terrorist? What do hurricanes, heart attacks, and highway deaths have in common? Are people hardwired for altruism or selfishness? Can eating kangaroo save the planet? Levitt and Dubner mix smart thinking and great storytelling like no one else, whether investigating a solution to global warming or explaining why the price of oral sex has fallen so drastically.

In seventy-eight essays, seven prominent social critics question everything. This thought-provoking and empowering, even "criminal," anthology is a major challenge to the establishment, the ruling oligarchy, or whatever we choose to call the deep state, central planners, and mega-criminals who set and control global narratives. Readers are presented with an array of "forbidden" subjects and in-debt analyses that pull the rug underneath the elite and expose the lies that constitute the matrix.
