Hard-hitting ... damning ... If you think what management
consultants do is to dress up common sense in jargon and flog it as
vision to credulous executives, you are, according to [Bogdanich
and Forsythe], greatly underestimating their impact
*The Times*
A masterful work of investigative journalism ... to unearth
conflicts of interest, corruption, hypocrisy and strategic blunders
that read like a prosecutor's indictment ... The fact that neither
regulators, the public, nor most of McKinsey's employees knew about
these sordid episodes ... is a testament to the authors' prowess as
investigative reporters ... superb
*Washington Post*
Deeply reported ... The portrait this book creates is one of a
company chasing profits, spreading the gospel of downsizing and
offshoring, its leaders virtually unmoored from any guiding
principles or moral code ... a clear and devastating picture of the
management philosophy that helped drive the decline of a stable ...
middle class over the last 50 years'
*The New York Times*
Hypocrisy, avarice, ridiculous PowerPoints, aiding and abetting the
world's polluters and drug companies. Every page made my blood boil
as I read about McKinsey's flawed reasoning and the vast profits
made from ethically dubious work for governments, polluting
companies and big pharma
*Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate, author of The Price of
Inequality*
'A lengthy and damning charge sheet ... makes you so angry you want
to chuck rocks at its offices ... the evidence the authors winkle
out is astonishing ... What sustains you are the authors' eye for
detail and killer quotes. If you want to know why top pay for US
executives has risen to a record 350 times that of the average
worker, look to McKinsey
*Sunday Times*
