Excellent history of corporate culture

What would we do without Anthony Sampson! Here is another Sampson book that carefully analyses an important part of western business culture to show us what it's really all about. Sampson always impresses with his grasp of the issues, but what I like most is his humanity. He is keen to show exactly what the changing business culture has done to the people in it, and who the winners and losers are. Sampson is not just another corporate booster, and combines the rigour of an academic with the narrative skills of a professional writer. All in all, this is a balanced book and a good read from one of our most insightful writers on business issues.
