getAbstract Summary: Get the key points from this book in 10 minutes.

If you like books that offer a new way of looking at the familiar and that challenge your previously held assumptions, you will revel in this one. Professor Gerald F. Davis notes that corporations have been the bogeyman in many narratives, embodying all the sins of capitalist greed. But he warns you to be careful what you wish for: With outsourcing, corporate raiders, the Internet and “platform capitalism,” the American public corporation is dying out, and with its demise go prospects for middle-class jobs and careers. The picture Davis paints is realistic and sobering, and, as the best books do, his work could change the way you look at the world. getAbstract recommends this enlightening text to employers and employees – corporate or not.
