Superficial analysis and no new information or original work added to the history of GE.

Doing the hard and right thing, is a thankless job. Read like a gossip column, lots of sweeping generalizations. 

don't mind me i've just enrolled in an online economics course because the adhd said i need to learn about how capitalism works right now.

Great book, however, the title is a bit misleading. Jack Welch was a horrible guy that had a detrimental impact on how businesses are ran, that is without a doubt. But he wasn't alone. And to the Gelles' favor, he doesn't leave out other harmful influential people, but Jack Welch is the main focus. For a more encompassing read, I'd recommend "Dark Money: the Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right". This was still a very informative read and I learned a lot, I just disagree with the main point that it was One Guy™ that moved us into the late stage capitalist hellscape we're in now.
