Broke: What Every American Business Must Do to Restore Our Financial Stability and Protect Our Future Hardcover - 2009 - 1st Edition
by John Mumford
From the rear cover
Praise for Broke
"Business has never had more legitimacy, opportunity, and capability to impact the issues John addresses--and many world-class companies already are. From values-based leadership to education, healthcare, and environmental issues like safe water--business is and will continue to make a positive difference for our children's future."
--Steven S. Reinemund, Dean and Professor of Leadership and Strategy, Babcock Graduate School of Management, and Dean, Calloway School of Business and Accountancy, Wake Forest University; and former CEO of PepsiCo
"John Mumford has written a riveting and very necessary book about the failure of American institutions to cope with a new world, the corruption of values, and the absence of strong visionary leaders. Broke is breathtakingly comprehensive and Mumford does not mince words. Mumford explains how we can achieve an America both great and good, a nation with 'a single value system that matches the vision of the Founding Fathers.' I�highly recommend this book. It's like nothing you've ever read before."
--Fred Barnes, Fox News commentator
"John Mumford has accepted a significant challenge in assessing the future of our nation's twenty-first century. At this important moment in history, we must carefully examine the signs of future change. Broke is a valuable reference for all Americans. It examines seventeen issues that are important to our future, including the issue of healthcare about which I am very passionate. This work establishes a new leadership model for public servants and sets a high standard for their service. More importantly, it establishes a new forum for public debate on the actions that will set the course of the nation for our children and grandchildren in the coming years. Every American would benefit from reading Broke. It is my hope that we will heed the call to action."
--The Honorable Tommy G. Thompson, former Secretary, United States Department of Health and Human Services
"John Mumford has accomplished a formidable task in writing Broke. No one in our generation has attempted to take a long, hard look at where our policy decisions of the last forty years have taken America and where these decisions will leave our children and grandchildren. I heartily commend this book to the realists among us and to those who aspire to national leadership in the years to come. We have much work to do before our current generation of leaders can be satisfied with their legacy."
--The Honorable Zell Miller, former United States Senator
