Why do CEOs take home hundreds of millions and stockholders get peanuts? When did "business ethics" become an oxymoron? It didn't used to be this way. Our founders kept tight control over corporations. Then one highly dubious court decision, followed by another outright fraud gave corporations the same legal standing as human citizens. Free enterprise, capitalism and democracy are in a fight for survival against mega-corporations with treasuries richer than many countries. Read this to prepare for the battle that's sure to come. A refreshing, clear-eyed assessment of our highly flawed corporate culture, how it got that way and what we can do about it. A "must read" for any investor, student of business, corporate and political leader.

From the Publisher
A refreshing, clear-eyed assessment of our highly flawed corporate culture, how it got that way and what we can do about it. A "must read" for any investor, student of business, director, CEO and political leaders. Highly readable, entertaining and challenging of conventional wisdom.
From the Author
Today's corporate culture lavishes unethical executives with power, money and honor. Honest competitors, and the public, are the losers. It didn't used to be this way. Our founders kept tight control over corporate power. Today public trust in Big Business has evaporated. Free enterprise, capitalism, and democracy itself are in a fight for survival.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A valuable, insightful book,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rescuing Capitalism from Corporatism: Greed and the American Corporate Culture (Paperback)
Written by a weekly columnist with over 50 years of experience in businesses large and small, not to mention some forays into politics and government, Rescuing Capitalism from Corporatism: Greed and the American Corporate Culture is a hard-hitting, no-nonsense look at how todays corporate culture has come to dominate free market competition. From the Enron scandal to the "dishonest casino" of the stock market to the modern-day oxymoron of "business ethics", symptoms of out-of-control corporations are becoming more and more frequent, and it's the ordinary taxpayer who suffers. Rescuing Capitalism from Corporatism examines what went wrong, what can be done about it, and how to limit corporate power while resuscitating capitalist principles that form the underpinning of a healthy economy. A valuable, insightful book, highly recommended for its words of warning about changes that must be made before corporations form a stranglehold on democracy as surely as capitalism.
