Catching up on some economics books, this time @tylercowen's Big Business. Overall excellent and surprisingly balanced, he lists many of the downsides of big business but puts them in the context of all of the many benefits they provide.

Tyler Cowen bites many bullets in this book, arguing that big businesses are more efficient than small ones, that they're no less trustworthy than people (and—credit to Mitt Romney—they are made out of people). The book is a good intuition pump; it doesn't suggest that we should have policy preferences in favor of big companies, but does show that there are important tradeoffs in making the biggest companies smaller.
