Join us for a zoom Book Group Discussion. We are dissapointed for logistical reasons, we are rescheduling as a zoom meeting rather than in-person. In keeping with preferences expressed through our Book Group survey, we'll alternate between fiction and nonfiction, so also join with fiction book recommendations. The Book Group’s November choice is a nonfiction, Times and New York Times Book of the Year 2022 — WHEN MCKINSEY COMES TO TOWN: The Hidden Influence of the World’s Most Powerful Consulting Firm, by Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe, two New York Times reporters who argue that the legendary firm has accrued an inordinate amount of influence chasing profits at the expense of moral principle.
Publisher Penguin Books offers that Patrick Radden Keefe (author of Empire of Pain) describes this explosive exposé of the world’s most prestigious and successful management consultancy as ‘[p]anoramic, meticulously reported and ultimately devastating.’ (See https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/441206/when-mckinsey-comes-to-town-by-forsythe-walt-bogdanich-and-michael/9781529112771)
