Paul Ingrassia Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

This is the epic saga of the American automobile industry’s rise and demise, a compelling story of hubris, missed opportunities, and self-inflicted wounds that culminates with the president of the United States ushering two of Detroit’s Big Three car companies—once proud symbols of prosperity—through bankruptcy. Pulitzer Prize winner Paul Ingrassia takes us from factory floors to small-town dealerships to Detroit’s boardrooms to the White House. Ingrassia answers the big questions: Was Detroit’s self-destruction inevitable? What were the key turning points? Why did Japanese automakers manage American workers better than the American companies themselves did? Crash Course addresses a critical question: America bailed out GM, but who will bail out America?

Documents the collapse and comeback of America's largest industry in a saga of greed and stubbornness, spotlighting dedicated managers, engineers, and financiers.
