Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) have become the cultural icons of
the 21st century. Figures like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg are
held up as role models who epitomise the modern pursuit of
innovation, wealth and success. We now live, Bloom and Rhodes
argue, in a 'CEO society' - a society where corporate leadership
has become the model for transforming not just business, but all
spheres of life, where everyone from politicians to jobseekers to
even those seeking love are expected to imitate the qualities of
the lionized corporate executive. But why, in the wake of the
failings exposed by the 2008 financial crisis, does the corporate
ideal continue to exert such a grip on popular attitudes? In this
insightful new book, Bloom and Rhodes examine the rise of the CEO
society, and how it has started to transform governments, culture
and the economy. This influence, they argue, holds troubling
implications for the future of democracy - as evidenced by the
disturbing political rise of Donald Trump in the US - and for our
society as a whole.
