CEOs like the Late Jack Welch Embody the Endless Possibilities of Capitalism
“Gelles wrote of how Welch’s career was ‘defined by devotion to maximizing short-term profits at any cost.’ Where have we heard that one before? If you’re looking for originality, this is the wrong book.” ~ John Tamny
Book Review: Peter Ward’s ‘The Price of Immortality’
“The Price of Immortality is in so many ways a deceptive title. Peter Ward’s readers deserve better, his subject deserves much better, plus the publisher should respect his readers more.” ~ John Tamny
