What if the system isn't broken-but working exactly as designed?
From Wall Street bailouts to billion-dollar opioid settlements, Golden Weakness: Platinum Failures is a sharp, satirical exposé on how the rich and powerful fail upward-while the rest of us foot the bill. With biting wit and fearless commentary, Dennis D. Kreger reveals how weakness, when backed by wealth and influence, becomes a strategy-not a setback.
This isn't a conspiracy theory. It's a guided tour through the halls of power, where corporate titans dodge consequences, politicians rewrite the rules, and failure becomes a golden parachute. Drawing from real events, Kreger dissects the absurdity behind:
- The Supreme Court's rebranding of corporate money as free speech
- Big Pharma's transformation of addiction into a marketing plan
- Amazon's high-tech war on unions
- Boeing's race to the bottom in the name of shareholder value
Golden Weakness: Platinum Failures is for anyone who's ever asked, How did they get away with that?-and wants the brutal, hilarious answer.
If you're tired of watching billionaires fail upward while the rest of us struggle downward, this book will confirm your suspicions-and sharpen your sense of justice.
