| Summary |
"The looming issue of automation is one of the more commonly discussed problems facing the American economy -- but it is not the only one. Big business has done much to accrue wealth for itself, while leaving the people behind. Our education system is inherently unequal, breaking along race and class lines. Hostile immigration policies keep would-be workers of today and tomorrow away. In Common Sense, Thomas Paine wrote: "a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong, gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defence of custom." In this book, Joel Greenblatt offers disruptive ways to break the status quo, as a businessman whose work has touched on these issues: some from personal experience, some from the outside looking in. He aims to start a conversation on building an American economy that truly works for everyone, following the social enterprise ideal that we should try to build a better tomorrow for all"-- Provided by publisher. |
