The Tipping Point
by Malcolm Gladwell
No reading list for a businessman—even an incarcerated one—would be complete without a book by Malcolm Gladwell. The subtitle of MG’s breakthrough 2000 tome is, “How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference,” and in Madoff’s case, that little thing may be the spoon he uses to try to tunnel his way out of jail. But failing that, Madoff might consider using his time behind bars to write a Gladwellian blockbuster of his own; instead of Outliers, how about Liars? Or, instead of Blink, Clink? I’m just trying to be helpful.
