Pay check

About this book

Are top earners really worth it? Seldom has this question been more relevant than now, as senior executives grab outrageous salaries while the companies they manage go bankrupt, dragging down the entire economy too. From jargon-spouting consultants to the financial "whiz kids" undertaking risky deals, oversized pay packets are justified on the flimsiest of grounds -- that the recipients possess extraordinary talent without which no company or organisation could prosper. But the evidence suggests otherwise. This book explodes the myth of "talent", and shows how the term has been deliberately misused and abused. Pay Check aims to win capitalism back for those who actually take the risks, and expose those who merely snatch the rewards. -- Publisher description. $g mglib.
