But one has to admit that poo-pooing the concept of profit is not "visionary" or "tough," it's indeed Progressive poppycock. But I'd love to read "Tough Choices" if it's that good. Sounds suspiciously like "Hard Calls" or whatever John McCain's book is called. Can you explain, though, in what way Henry Ford is a Fascist?

When Carly Fiorina arrived at HP, it had had nine quarters of no growth and was dysfunctional in its board, with people who refused to talk to each other. It was an economic downturn; remember when the tech bubble burst? You praise Henry Ford without realising that he was a fascist. I'll take Carly's globally conscious citizenry any day. She conscientiously administered harsh medicine; predictably the company first suffered while the antibiotics were working. After, she was gone, their corporate board fights were tumbling into the open, but the medicine that Carly had administered, including the merger, was begining to pay off, even while HP's dysfunctional board went on fighting, spying, and under investigation. During her tenure, it revealed itself as the mysogynistic clique that most of the business world is. Having served on two company boards, I could see things just the way Carly described them in her landmark book, "Tough Choices." She's a leader and an original; as she travels the political stump answering tough questions by the liberal press, her answers are wise, prudent, and visonary, recalling Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper. She has a theme, a cause, and a conscience. All told with exemplary intelligence. Many are jealous. She might just end up as the new American Thatcher.
