Well worth the read! (A surprising, but not, answer to what the fuck is wrong with our world? How have we gotten to the point of no return?) ( )

This book by Joel Bakan is intriguing indeed. He starts with a short history of the rise of modern organizations and how they have started consuming our lives.
The rise seems to be inexorable. Joel Bakan refers to organizations as pathological entities, and there may be some truth in this assertion. The fact is that an organization exists to market products and services and to return a fair return to its shareholders.
In this relentless search for profit, they have created wealth for a few people and misery for many. Yet, for now, we can't do without them.
Read this book. It is well worth your while. ( )

A must read. "because it really is about us." ( )

Not what I expected. Well researched, methodically argued, insightful and not preachy. ( )

Interesting information on economical and legal background of corporations, extreme left wing rubbish as to 'recipes' for improvement. ( )
