Description
When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World's Most Powerful Consulting Firm A deeply reported exposé of McKinsey & Company, the international consulting firm that advises corporations and governments, highlighting the often drastic impact of its work on employees and citizens around the world. McKinsey & Company is a firm that earns billions of dollars in fees from major corporations and governments, advising them to maximize profits and enhance efficiency. However, its advice often boils down to major cost-cutting measures, including layoffs and maintenance reductions, which can have devastating consequences for workers and safety measures. This landmark work of investigative reporting reveals the often-hidden influence of McKinsey on the world, exposing the firm's role in advising tobacco and vaping companies, purveyors of opioids, repressive governments, and oil companies, and its impact on the lives of those affected.
