THE MAN WHO BROKE CAPITALISM How Jack Welch Gutted the Heartland and Crushed the Soul of Corporate Americaand How to Undo His Legacy

Earphones Award Winner

by | Read by Kevin R. Free

Business & Finance • 9.25 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2022

This takedown of the legendary CEO of General Electric would be interesting even without Kevin R. Free's exceptional performance. But his artistry provides exceptional listening. Nevermind Free's appealing diction, impressive phrasing, and ability to orchestrate the ebb and flow of mood or tone. What really impresses is how perfectly he applies these vocal skills to every dramatic detail and underlying thread in the gripping story of Welch's brutal management style and its lasting impact on American business culture. The author shows how Welch and his acolytes reneged on traditional corporate responsibilities by prioritizing short-range profits, cutting jobs, and misleading the public with dishonest accounting practices. They rewarded shareholders and managers at the expense of workers, customers, innovation, and even safety. T.W.
