Fixing Business

Many people claim to be the voice of business, but few speak as clearly and as forcefully as Digby. This book is a punchy, passionate and powerful defence of the role of enterprise in our society. It's badly needed in this age of unreason. -George Osborne MP, former Chancellor of the Exchequer 2010-16A CALL TO ACTION FOR LEADERS IN BUSINESS, GOVERNMENT AND MEDIA.In Fixing Business, the face of British Business Lord Digby Jones rolls up his sleeves to demonstrate why profit isn't a dirty word - it's how you spend it that matters most.

This should be required reading in every boardroom and for every politician. It wouldn't harm to put it into sixth forms, colleges and universities too!-Nick Ferrari, BroadcasterThe name Lord Digby Jones is synonymous with Business.
