Book Review of Money for Nothing: How the Failure of Corporate Boards Is Ruining American Business and Costing Us Trillions

goodnightnobody avatar reviewed on + 17 more book reviews


You want to talk about the elite controlling the vast majority of wealth in America? This is where it happens. Former heads of military serving on boards with former CEOs and former heads of state - and none of them doing the job they're supposed to do.

Yes, we can lay the blame for the collapse of a company at the feet of a CEO - but the CEO is supposed to report to the Board.

Really well-written and fascinating, although ultimately frustrating in its level of "You've GOT to be kidding me!" moments throughout.
