Money Inc.: A Wry Look at Business Today [Paperback]

Joseph Farris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 15, 2003

When top New Yorker magazine contributor, Joseph Farris drew these cartoons in the late 1990's, he saw things that few others saw. Greed, deceit, fraud, theft of shareholders' assets--all the elements of today's headlined corporate scandals, violations of ethics, bogus accounting, and corporate governance failures are grist for the devastatingly funny and deadly accurate cartoons in this sweeping indictment of business behavior that cost shareholders billions.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few lighter sides among the many dark sides of corporate malfeasance, December 5, 2007

This review is from: Money Inc.: A Wry Look at Business Today (Paperback)

This collection of cartoons will forever describe much of the business world, the self-serving nature and outright greed. By far, my favorite cartoon is on page 82 and is a scene in a prison. One inmate is signing autographs and the caption is "There's one clever man, he managed to lose almost a billion dollars before they caught him." Given the current stories about malfeasance in corporate America, a billion dollars is now on the low end.
If you are feeling frustrated with the state of business affairs, one thing that may help will be to read this book. It probably won't take your mind off the problems, but a humorous approach will certainly make the burden less difficult to bear.
