Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The Power of Ownership
John J. Bailey · 2013
65/100
👎 Skip It
Bailey's four-decade career and the Presidential recognition for ethical entrepreneurship give this memoir-guide real credibility within its niche, and the PR Newswire description — part Detroit history, part biography, part business primer — accurately captures its texture. The audience is genuinely narrow, the critical coverage thin, and it lacks the broader validation needed for a confident general recommendation.
