"Robert Monks has written a timely book. Monks usefully draws lessons in corporate citizenship. Monks' drier style and institutionally based prescriptions are more likely to appeal to the executive mind. So give a copy of the book to you favourite CEO, board member or pension fund manager. They will learn things that will make them much better at their jobs." (Management Today, March 2001)
"Though written from a mainly US perspective (where, after all, corporate
excesses started), this should be read by anyone concerned with corporate governance." (The Director, June 2001)
"He has produced one of the most thought-provoking books on modern capitalism.... Monks carries none of the baggage that characterises other authors operating in the field and presents carefully considered arguments to support his case." (Sunday Times - Book of the Week, 17th June 2001)
"a highly readable insight"... (Lloyd's List, 4th August 2001)
"both an entertaining and thought-provoking read" (Professional Manager, September 2001)
"...Interesting man, Interesting book." (Professional Investor, 1 November 2001)
"..an excellent contribution to the debate on investment.." (Sunday Times 23 December 2001)
