American culture applauds those who will do anything to make it to the top. The past decades have seen success redefined in terms of more wealth and power. Citing examples including Enron, Arthur Andersen, and WorldCom, this work explores what went wrong, and advocates a reassessment of what is considered 'good' in corporate America.
