In Praise of Janesville: The 2017 800-CEO-READ Business Book of the Year
By Sally Haldorson
Eminently accessible, instantly absorbable, Janesville is a story of economics lived.

A microcosmic illustration of a national experience, Janesville is about idealism and stubbornness and desperation and bravery. And we all can learn a lot about ourselves and our capacity for resilience from the children whose stories are at the heart of Janesville.
