A series of 'coming of age" stories as told by a seventeen year old
boy born in the 1930s into one of Idaho Falls, Idaho's leading
families. In grade school he quickly learns the disadvantages of
his "advantages." Mediating religious disputes between his Mormon
and Catholic classmates leads him to question his and all religious
beliefs. Cross-country family vacations, a fancy Prep school,
summers spent on the family yacht, winter sports and back-country
hikes broaden his world view and helps him learn how to survive
high school as an outsider. A story of growth from a wide-eyed
child to a more self-aware young man told with wry humor and wit.
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.
