Brian Miller and Mike Lapham not only bust the myth; they present profiles of business leaders who recognize the public investments and supports that made their success possible—including Warren Buffett, Ben Cohen of Ben and Jerry’s, New Belgium Brewing CEO Kim Jordan, and others. The book also thoroughly demolishes the claims of supposedly self-made individuals such as Donald Trump and Ross Perot. How we view the creation of wealth and individual success is critical because it shapes our choices on taxes, regulation, public investments in schools and infrastructure, CEO pay, and more. It takes a village to raise a business—and it’s time to recognize that fact.","brand":"Berrett-Koehler Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43353435209983,"sku":"9781609945060","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781609945060_s600x595.jpg?v=1775596528","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781609945060","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
