A profile of Malcolm Gladwell
Author of The Tipping Point, and the forthcoming Blink, Malcolm Gladwell is one of the most influential economic (and social) journalists today. Whatever I see by him I read immediately; I enjoyed this profile as well. Learn why he receives $40,000 per lecture. And if you don't know Gladwell's work, here is an archive of his articles.
Thanks to www.geekpress.com for the pointer.
