SynopsisA systematic study of the various civil rights regulatory agencies created under Titles VI and VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Begins with the creation of the regulatory agencies in 1964 under President Johnson, and continues to describe and evaluate them through the Reagan presidency, exploring the creation, structuring, staffing, financing, and attainments of these agencies. Holland traces the story of the life and death of a machine tools company--from its inception in the mid-forties through it's rise and ultimate decline in the eighties. He intertwines that history with an analysis of the roles played by Washington and Wall Street, offering evidence that economy is fading fast.", From the careful craftsmanship of machine tools to the ingenious crafting of a leveraged buy-out and the inticacies of a bitter trade dispute, the author tells the life-and-death story of a machine company called Burgmaster. Named one of the 10 best business books of 1989 by Business Week, this provides a wealth of information about innovation, foreign and domestic competition, employee relations, leveraged buy-outs and much more.
