The large public corporations powering the U.S.
economy--Churchill's Horses, in Bogie's metaphor--are
underachievers, and all of us are paying the price. Why? The
reasons are shrouded in the myths that these corporations use to
mask their great power and disguise the interests it serves. "Myth"
the shareholders who own a public corporation control it by
electing the directors who govern it. "Anti-Myth" (fact):
shareholders of a public corporation don't elect the directors, and
the directors don't govern the corporation. Shareholders don't even
own the corporation in any meaningful sense of the word. Yet
Churchill's Horses spend billions propping up the current price of
their shares rather than invest the money in their (and our) future
prosperity. Using many voices from current and recent business
literature, Bogie leads you through myths and anti-myths to
understand how public corporations have lost focus and ignored
their most important stakeholders. Few readers will emerge with all
their assumptions and beliefs intact.

letters from the war, editorials, essays and poems, are brought
