What people on Hacker News said
Jeff Bezos once said his favorite business book is Built to Last (http://www.amazon.com/Built-Last-Successful-Visionary-Companies/dp/0060566108/). You can still hear him use language from that book in recent interviews.
Focuses on how the organizations are constructed and tries to divine principles that are true across time.
