Synopsis
A principled, and exemplary, giant in the business community addresses issues raised by the recent headline-making corporate scandals, such as Enron, which he says are not anomalies but, instead, accurately reflect the sorry state of corporate practices today. Comparing America to Rome just before its fall, John C. Bogle acknowledges the greatness of America, but sees "far too much greed, egoism, materialism, and waste." Bogle organizes his critique around the three sectors he calls Corporate America, Investment America, and Mutual Fund America. He asks the same questions of each: What went wrong? Why? How can they be fixed? Drawing on his vast experience, Bogle pulls no punches, naming names of companies and managers whose greed for short-term profits put long-term growth, and ultimately society, at risk. In his closing, Bogle makes a plea for a renewal of responsible, social-minded business practices that will yield profits for owners and investors, and that will make America strong.
