Bigness Complex - Industry, Labor, Government in American Economy, Second Edition

Zusatztext "This book brings the full, dramatic weight of mainstream economic research against the excesses and follies—and the dangers—of businesses that are simply too big. As Adams and Brock show, corporate obesity has cut efficiency, reduced innovation, and eroded the fairness of American society." Informationen zum Autor The late Walter Adams was President and Distinguished Professor of Economics at Michigan State University. James W. Brock is the Moeckel Professor of Economics at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Adams and Brock have also co-authored The Tobacco Wars, The Structure of American Industry, Antitrust Economics on Trial, Adam Smith Goes to Moscow, and Dangerous Pursuits: Mergers and Acquisitions in the Age of Wall Street. Klappentext The Bigness Complex confronts head-on the myth that organizational giantism leads to economic efficiency and well-being in the modern age. On the contrary, it demonstrates how bigness undermines our economic productivity and progress, endangers our democratic freedoms, and exacerbates our economic problems and challenges. > Zusammenfassung Confronts head-on the myth that organizational giantism leads to economic efficiency and well-being in the modern age.
