Interpreting a chief executive's reading list

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Once upon a time, being a billionaire was something you showed off to the world - the yachts, the fast cars, glamorous properties, and so on. But these days, unless perhaps you want to make a virtue of it like Donald Trump, appearing rather more ordinary and frugal is the name of the game, at least according to our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times. Instead, she now sees company bosses showing off about what they're reading. (Picture: A pile of books. Picture credit: Thinkstock.)
