At Any Cost

A timely and searching examination of General Electric and its longtime CEO Jack Welch, regarded by some as a model corporate leader and by others as the quintessential relentless pursuer of shareholder profit, regardless of the cost to society. O'Boyle shows how GE has been transformed from a socially responsible and profitable company, proud of its history of invention, innovation, and loyalty, into a company that is abandoning manufacturing and becoming largely a financial services cash cow.
