Figures like Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg are held up as role models who epitomise the modern pursuit of innovation, wealth and success. We now live, Bloom and Rhodes argue, in a 'CEO society' - a society where corporate leadership has become the model for transforming not just business, but all spheres of life, where everyone from politicians to jobseekers to even those seeking love are expected to imitate the qualities of the lionized corporate executive. But why, in the wake of the failings exposed by the 2008 financial crisis, does the corporate ideal continue to exert such a grip on popular attitudes? In this insightful new book, Bloom and Rhodes examine the rise of the CEO society, and how it has started to transform governments, culture and the economy. 606 $aChief executive officers 606 $aOrganizational sociology 615 0$aChief executive officers. 615 0$aOrganizational sociology. 700 $aBloom$b Peter$c(Social science teacher),$0793710 801 0$bUkBaUB 801 2$bUkBaUB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825363603321 996 $aCEO society : the corporate takeover of everyday life$94062088 997 $aUNINA
