I'm actually fascinated the rise-and-fall of some mega corporations over time as times/habits change. IBM, Sears, Etc.

At one point Sears was THE place to shop for everything from back-to-school clothes, appliances and Christmas. In the early 2000's I would have thought you were either a giant fool, or a time-traveler, had you tried to tell me by 2024 Intel would be de-listed from the Dow and talk of taxpayer bailout or bankruptcy. They had a monopoly on PC/Servers. As crazy as it currently may sound but one day we could be discussing the downfall of Amazon, Microsoft and Google.

Does anyone know of good books about the business-cycle and life/death of companies?
