“[An] admiring but unflinching survey… Mr. O’Toole has made a
strong case that enlightened stewardship is in the interest of
stockholders. In setting out to write a brief for social
responsibility, he has delivered some managerial wisdom. Humanity
in the corner office need not be altruistic; it may simply be good
business.” — Wall Street Journal
“[An] enormous but accessible book… Fascinating.” — Financial Times
