Read 2 times. Last read November 29, 2022 to December 1, 2022.
The book is worth reading for the case studies or stories selected. There is a lot to dislike from what is omitted (every knowledgeable reader will have a long list of examples that should have been included), a rather negative tone (except for the positive message in the last paragraph of the book), a lack of comparative analysis, rather cliched suggestions at the end, and a lot more.
The author does an excellent job narrating half a dozen historic examples. These well-written episodes provide a lot of good, relevant information that will help readers see the arc of how today's corporates came into being. Even while the author does not explicitly talk about what happened in communities that adapted to this route of doing collective work late, the examples are clear enough to help readers see the changes wrought themselves.
A quick, easy, and unique read for what is offered.
