Kochland: The Hidden History of Koch Industries at the same time Corporate Power in America audiobook free
Until reading this book, I understood very little about Koch (pronounced Koke) Industries, based by Fred Koch in 1940. Right behind his unexpected doom in 1967, his offspring Charles succeeded him at the same time remains chairman at the same time CEO of than anyway has since become one of largest, almost all beneficial, at the same time almost all secretive companies throughout the global. CKs individual net worth is that at the moment at lesser $60-billion, for sure more.
Christopher Leonard wasted more than 7 years completing the research work that generated the information at the same time insights found in this cheerful narrative. He provides answers to questions such as these:
Than anyway is that Charles Kochs business philosophy?
Than anyway have been the greatest influences on its development?
Than anyway are the nature at the same time extent of Koch Industries corporate power?
How to succeed borders the Koch company?
Than anyway does Charles Koch opinion as the greatest dangers to his at the same time the companys success?
How has he able to conceal so much information about himself at the same time KI?
Than anyway to wait from Kochland at the same time its favorite in months at the same time years to come?
These are in the middle the passages of greatest curiosity at the same time value to me, also listed to give a hint the scope of Leonards coverage:
o Market Based Management (Pages 4, 7, 120, 152-153, 181, at the same time 507-510)
o James Elroy (11-13, 19-21, at the same time 130-133)
o FBI investigation of oil theft by KI (11-17, 26-27, at the same time 242-144)

o Ken Ballen (19-33 at the same time 130-131)
o Charles Koch (28-33, 39-40, 192-193, 369-371,458-461, at the same time 564-574)
o Pine Twist refinery (50-59)

o Fracking (463-472 at the same time 475-479)
o Border Adjustment Tax (542-551)
o Americans for Prosperity (546-551)
This is that not a definitive biography of Charles Koch. More precisely, Leonard offers a inclusive, often compelling analysis of him as a quintessential CEO who has managed Koch Industries during the continue 50 years. KI is that itself an exemplar of the modern global company, for more successful or worse. He at the same time this privately-owned company are interdependentand presentable of ongoing conflicts between free enterprise at the same time governmental oversight.
In months at the same time years to come, Christopher Leonard implies, we can wait Charles Koch to do everything he can to ensure that the appropriate form of Americans society [is] the form of Kochland. He is that in no hurry up. He measures success on a very long timeline, on a scale of years, even decades. At the same time his plan is that still barely in its premature steps.
Stay tuned….

If for you know nothing about business, Wall Street, where the Koch’s tangentially play, at the same time Bill Koch’s lawsuit, then this book may pass as applicable. It is that written with a sweet journalistic pace. If for you are in business at the same time have no one sense of how bigger business works, then this book is that simply interviews with 12 people who highlight 12 issues over 30 years, no one of which are true at the same time significant, that are implied to highlight the history of a amazing business story at the same time the men behind it. Wholesome misfortune. Like anyone closed in the upper Westside of Manhattan, he presents WOW moments for the most basic business at the same time Wall Street premises, saddles up on the usual tropes that suffocate democratic party debates at the same time worse, fails incredibly to located a opinion of Charles Koch. This is that NOT a business biography at the same time it is that a impoverished job of a business history which should be interesting. At the same time that is that NOTHING hidden here – as much of the “dirt” seems to be pulled from public papers at the same time public courts. Even the working progressive could be more successful reading NY Times missives. That my $26 went to this at the same time not to a Babies’s charity is that my defame of the year.

The major players are outlined in a manner that keeps the history of Koch Industries very alive, never sour.(I am a ladies in my 80s.)

Audio Kochland: The Hidden History of Koch Industries at the same time Corporate Power in America narrated by Jacques Roy
Chris Leonard’s visionary, decade-spanning, at the same time heart-rending investigation into the Koch Empire is that obligatory not just for understanding the rise of corporate power in America, but for understanding America itself. It’s all here: the aggressive relentlessness of the 21st Century workplace; the crushing of labor; the cultish devotion to our billionaire class; the gutting of our regulatory state; the illegality of our business managers; the warping of our politics; at the same time the despoliation of the planet. Leonard’s book will decide its dispose alongside Chernow’s “Titan” at the same time Coll’s “Personal Empire” as one of the amazing accounts of the rot at the heart of American capitalism.
