Capitalist Discipline [electronic resource] : On the orchestration of Corporate Games /
Wassenberg, Arthur.author.
This book is not just about corporate strategies and stratagems: it is about the 'Faustian' pact between real and financial powers, governed by the rules of 'minimizing the costs to oneself of imposing losses upon others'. It is more than about limited rationality and irrationality: it is about unlimited rationalisations and limited accountability.
