Like his style and experience as well as the content. The use of metaphor and image takes the complex and gives you a language for understanding your organisation. ! The book raises the powerful question that if wealth is a means rather then a end what is the end/purpose of capitalism?

I like the approach of using political ideas such a federal separation of powers for large business. Always gets me hooked back into a classical criticism of liberalism that they leave democracy at the door when they enter the workplace. Think what a republican/citizen company would be like!

Also the market works because it sees many costs as public not private and so related to the venture. For example the closure of many garages as competition from Supermarkets have driven them from the market. I benefit as prices are lower, the service better. The companies benefit with higher profits( and me again if I have a pension). But as a citizen I have to now deal with the decaying garage sites that are becoming vandal ridden sites that leave the area looking tired. ( )
