Funny and Irreverant but With Germs of Truth
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
When you learn that a dictionary that defines Capitalism as 'The name of a religion based on the worship of money' you have a pretty good idea about what to expect. This is a highly irreverant look at the business world in the form of a dictionary. It's one of those dictionaries that you don't look up things so much as read from front back. Mr. Von Hoffman is a journalist who has worked for several of the countries largest newspapers and then gotten fired. He now pens columns for the New York Observer, and has written some thirteen books, several plays and more. He clearly understands the business world and has produced definitions in this book which are amusing, but which also contain germs of truth. This is a very amusing book, and has a blast looking at the underneath of American business.
