John Gillespie, co-author of “Money for Nothing: How the Failure of Corporate Boards is Ruining American Business and Costing Us Trillions,” will speak and answer questions on his new book on corporate accountability on March 25th. This event, sponsored by Nutter, McClennen & Fish, is the first in a series with local and national authors.
The book, co-authored with David Zweig, explores the weakest yet most important link in our capitalist system. According to the authors, corporate boards have been commandeered by CEO interests and lack of perspective. The author/insiders reveal how this shifting relationship, where a group of elites seemingly elected by everyone but accountable to no one, has literally brought us to the brink of ruin.
