Cash McCall [Hardcover]

Cameron Hawley (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1977 | ISBN-10: 0892440384 | ISBN-13: 978-0892440382

This is Cameron Hawley's revealing novel of business and the associated worlds of law and finance. Cash McCall is a vastly intriguing man, a 20th century adventurer who carries on his successful buying and selling of companies behind a suspiciously secret screen of anonymity.

But this is more than a novel of high finance. It is no less an eloquent love story, a discerning journey into the hearts and minds of business wives. Above all else, CASH MCCALL is an intelligent commentary on the morals and motives of our time.

4.0 out of 5 stars An almost timeless novel of business dealings and love., November 26, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Cash McCall (Hardcover)

Cameron Hawley is a distant relative of mine, and that is how I happened to decide to read this book. I did not know anything about the book, except that it was a novel about a businessman. The story does not set any specific time frame, which keeps it from being dated by any specific references to historic events. The chance encounter between Cash and the boss' daughter is still as viable today as it was when it was first written. There is no seemy romantic scenes that are so prevalent in today's drama novels. The novel itself is an easy read for anyone who wants to read about the ins and outs of business dealings, and the quirks of fate that can happen along the way

5.0 out of 5 stars Portrait of an Sharp Businessman, March 19, 2009

In too many books and movies, all businessmen are portrayed as ruthless and greedy cretins. Mr. Hawley writes from a different persepective and one that I share. The idea that business is a noble pursuit and does much more to elevate society at large than it does to diminish it.

There will always be cheats, crooks and con men, but they are the exception rather than the rule. Hawley also paints a vivid picture of how the governments tinkering with the economy and taxation affects the ways that business people respond to such actions.

This is a very good book and I think people who like Atlas Shrugged will enjoy all of Hawley's books...

4.0 out of 5 stars Is this what business is really like?, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cash McCall (Hardcover)

This book was recommended to me by a self-help book teaching about how to make your fortune. I enjoyed and recommended it to others. It does a good job of portraying the honest and hard-working business man. This is the reality of business. It would be interesting to read a novel portraying a world in which business men were as ruthless as Hollywood likes to portray them. It would be a horror.

The story is set in the background of the fifties, but the story, like the one in Goldratt's "The Goal", is about all of us good guys who run businesses. It is only four stars because of the fiftie's setting hampers some of the story.
