The Big Con
How the Consulting Industry Weakens our Businesses, Infantilizes our Governments and Warps our Economies
2024 || Paperback || Mariana Mazzucato e.a. || Veltman Distributie Import Books
There is an entrenched relationship between the consulting industry and the way business and government are managed today which must change.
Mariana Mazzucato and Rosie Collington show that our economies' reliance on companies such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, PwC, Deloitte, KPMG and EY stunts innovation, obfuscates corporate and political accountability and impedes our collective mission of halting climate breakdown.
The 'Big Con' describes the confidence trick the c...

2023 || Paperback || Ben Wilson || Veltman Distributie Import Books

The Restless Vision
2022 || Hardcover || Jackie Wullschlager || Veltman Distributie Import Books
A magnificent new biography of the founder of Impressionism
In the course of a long and exceptionally creative life, Claude Monet revolutionized painting and made some of the most iconic images in western art. Misunderstood and mocked at the beginning of his career, he risked everything to pursue his original vision. Although close to starvation when he invented impressionism on the banks of the Seine in the 1860s-70s, in the following decades he emerged as the powerful leader of the new pain...
