He knows that a trustworthy business and financial complex is essential to America’s continuing leadership in the world and to social and economic progress at home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this book he reveals what went wrong and how we lost our way—and more importantly, how we can right our course. He argues for a return to a governance structure in which owners’ capital that has been put at risk is used in their interests rather than in the interests of corporate and financial managers. Given that ownership is now consolidated in the hands of relatively few large mutual and pension funds, the specific reforms Bogle details in this book are essential as well as practical—and should be considered by every investor, analyst, Wall Streeter, policy maker, and businessperson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Deserves attention in the precincts of power.”—\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47083963613424,"sku":"9780300134834","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780300134834_p0.jpg?v=1769886693","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780300134834","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
