Booksellers told The Daily Telegraph that while it is regarded in most countries as a 'Nazi Bible', in India it is considered a management guide in the mould of Spencer Johnson's "Who Moved My Cheese".
I think whoever wrote this paragraph deserves an award for comparing "Who Moved My Cheese" to "Mein Kampf."
Having said that, this trend really shows what poor readers a lot of business school students are. Take any book full of batshit crazy genocidal ideas, which led to worldwide destruction, then claim that it has insights for managers. People will buy it and read it without really stopping to think, "Holy crap. The guy who wrote this started World War II, ended up shooting himself in an underground bunker, AND his name is synonymous with evil."
And these same people will be running businesses in a few years. Oh, boy.
