This book came out in 1981, though many of the issues it discusses resonate even today, in 2017. There is an extended discussion in chapter 7 of the effect of environmental regulations, and how politically-driven decisions based on sketchy science had negative impacts on the car companies. Much of the last part of the book deals with the political wrangling surrounding the 1979-1980 bailout by the federal government, which would have echoes in the 2009 bailout of General Motors. So, in essence, while this is a historical document, much of what is related still has relevance. A good read. ( )
