Money for Nothing
Author: John Gillespie
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 141659776X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A Bank of America director questioned the CEO's $76 million pay package in a year when the bank was laying off 12,600 workers and found herself dropped from the board without notice a few months later. According to their employment agreements -- approved by boards -- 96 percent of large company CEOs have guarantees that do not allow them to be fired "for cause" for unsatisfactory performance, which means they can walk away with huge payouts, and 49 percent cannot be fired even for breaking the law by failing in their fiduciary duties to shareholders. The General Motors board gave CEO Rick Wagoner a 64 percent pay raise -- to $15.7 million -- in 2007, when the company lost $38.7 billion. The company went bankrupt two years later at a cost of $52 billion to shareholders and another $13.4 billion to all taxpayers. If you own stock -- and 57 million U.S. households do -- every cent of these outrages comes out of your pocket, thanks to boards of directors who are supposed to represent your interests. Every customer, employee, and taxpayer is also being hurt and American business is being imperiled. In the most recent economic collapse, almost all attention has focused on the greed, recklessness, or incompetence of CEOs rather than the negligence of boards, who ought to be held equally, if not more, accountable because the CEOs theoretically work for them. But the world of boards has become an entrenched insiders' club -- virtually free of accountability or personal liability. Too often, corporate boards act as enabling lapdogs rather than trustworthy watchdogs, costing us trillions. Money for Nothing exposes the glaring flaws in this dysfunctional system, including directors who are selected by the CEOs they are meant to hold accountable; compensation consultants who legitimize outrageous pay; accountants and attorneys who see no evil; legal vote buying; rampant conflicts of interest; and much more. Using their extensive original reporting and interviews with high-level insiders, John Gillespie and David Zweig -- both Harvard MBAs with thirty-plus years of Fortune 100 experience at investment banks and media companies -- expose what happened, or failed to happen, in the boardrooms of companies such as Lehman Brothers, General Motors, Bear Stearns, and Countrywide and how it has resulted in so much financial devastation. They reveal how the byzantine yet indestructible web of power and money has brought on collapse after collapse, with fig-leaf reforms that feebly anticipate last year's scandal, but never next year's. Money for Nothing shows how the game is played, and how you can help to demand real change in a badly broken system.

Book Description
The acclaimed author of Ignore Everybody is back with more irreverent wisdom, wit, and original cartoons. "It has never been easier to make a great living doing what you love. But to make it happen, first you need an EVIL PLAN. Everybody needs to get away from lousy bosses, from boring, dead-end jobs that they hate, and ACTUALLY start doing something they love, something that matters. Life is short." -Hugh MacLeod Freud once said that in order to be truly happy people need two things: the capacity to work and the capacity to love. Evil Plans is about being able to do both at the same time. The sometimes unfortunate side effect is that others will hate you for it. MacLeod's insights are brash, wise, and often funny.

Liberals Favorite Lies

Publisher: Author House
ISBN: 1467864943
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In Dave Sampsons new book, Liberals Favorite Lies the author calls the Democrat party on a variety of misrepresentations, half truths and outright lies. Its said that you know when a Liberal is lying whenever you see his lips move. In modern politics the variety and severity of Liberal lies, and the deception perpetrated on the American people, cannot be ignored. Unfortunately, sports scandals and celebrity gossip receive far more attention from the average American than do the immoral and sometimes illegal actions demonstrated by Democrats and Liberals in American politics. Man made global warming is the newest and most threatening lie the Left has come up with. Liberals have employed junk science and gathered environmental activist judges to institute policy on an issue that is as phony as the tooth fairy. By manufacturing a crisis, the Left has created panic and hysteria among nave and unsuspecting Americans. According to the Left, the only way to address global warming is to regulate our behavior and tax the hell out of us. This is the typical Liberal approach to any problem. Liberals lie so much that their lies have been largely accepted as truth among the political inner- circle. This is damaging to our nation in countless ways. By telling us that terrorists can be reasoned and negotiated with, Liberals have put our national security in jeopardy. By telling us the use of racial profiling is offensive and cannot be tolerated, Liberals have effectively eliminated our use of intuition and common sense. By telling us tolerance and diversity are necessary to our nations fabric, Liberals have begun to divide America. From their pseudo-patriotism and false pride in America to their institution of political correctness and enforcement of tolerance and diversity, Liberals are chipping away at the foundation of America. Liberals Favorite Lies attempts to open the eyes of the average American to the harm and devastation that these lies are beginning to cause. If left unchecked, Liberals will continue to perpetrate their lies and resulting policy changes on the American people. Its time we all open our eyes and refuse to accept Liberal lies.
