Former businessman turned novelist Cameron Hawley, truly understands and accurately portrays the world of business-Hawley's 1955 novel, Cash McCall, is the story of a justified and benign corporate raider who benefits himself and society by acquiring poorly managed companies and bringing them back to economic health. He is mis-perceived by many to be a dishonorable tycoon who merely takes over firms, lays off workers, and sells the assets for huge profits. He is actually a man of moral integrity who acquires failing companies, improves them to turn them around, and then sells them to make an earned profit. McCall makes changes to a firm and frequently finds ways to attain synergy with other companies. Cash McCall celebrates the power of capitalism and portrays business as an honorable activity. Like Executive Suite, Cash McCall was made into a successful Hollywood movie. Cameron Hawley went on to write two more novels about the drama of business, The Lincoln Lords (1960), and The Hurricane Years (1969)...... - Cash McCall Author Cameron Hawley Published 1955..LAX Vespa,Los Angeles - maybe this will do it! -At least you know what you're getting into- City- Media Mail USPS-you get the copy you were viewing carefully Drop kick-packed to protect it in - transit- 7 days usually coast to coast, less if closer..
