I read this when it was published in 2001. It proved surprisingly relevant in a rereading in 2020. Kierans was a scrapper, and an example of common sense and integrity in both business life and politics. His early life followed the same trajectory as that of a number of other young people who scrabbled through the Depression and the war years and made their way through work and optimism. By the early 1950s he became concerned about wealth inequality and the concentration of corporate power. The closing chapter remains an articulate and insightful commentary on those subjects. It's possible to disagree with some of his views, but even those are worth considering. There are plenty of funny anecdotes, too.
