Book Description

Who does an advice columnist ask for help?

Thirty-six-ish, well, thirty-eight . . . no, actually, thirty-nine-year-old advice columnist Rose Costelloe thought she'd solved all her problems when she got married after a whirlwind two-month courtship. But seven months and an extremely public smash-up later (embarrassing, when you dole out relationship wisdom for a living), things are looking thorny for Rose. Her job's in jeopardy, her finances are in shambles and she's being plagued by a stalker who seems to know rather a lot about the mysterious circumstances of her birth.

Sometimes rescue comes from an unexpected source . . .

Her zany friends suggest she get a roommate, and at first Theo, a geeky accountant, seems like the perfect choice for resolutely single Rose. Soon, however, she's seeing stars -- Theo has a secret passion for astronomy . . . and he might just be fond of his prickly redheaded landlady, as well. Will Rose be able to chart her own course?

Book Description

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.

Customer Reviews:

A valuable, insightful book.......2005-05-06

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.
