What is Wealth? What is Enough? The path to success and the full glory of wealth is doing more with less! In this book, Piasecki urgently calls for a new era of restraint, public mindedness, and social purpose in capitalism. This homage to historical financial leaders allows an understanding between self-determination and self-actualization in a time of capital constraints. This book helps you understand which attributes lead to the accumulation of wealth and using that wealth responsibly. Piasecki breaks open the differences between self-determination and self-actualization in a time of capital constraints.Inspired by the wisdom of Ben Franklin -- and his competitive insights into frugality, Bruce Piasecki incorporates his knowledge of corporate governance, energy, product, and environmental strategy.
