Editorial Reviews

Attributes America's corporate decay to people's pathological desire to work in a nice place, even at the cost of not being the biggest and baddest in the world. Cites the examples of General Motors and NASA, and generalizes to the society as a whole. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
