The first book on ‘the most profitable company on earth’, by the bestselling author of Virgin King.This edition does not include illustrations.Intel has been dubbed the most powerful chip company in the world and is now universally acknowledged as the only serious rival to Microsoft. Intel’s products are at the heart of the personal computers everyone uses at home and at work, yet the company has for many years been underestimated, to a large extent as a consequence of its secretive corporate culture.In this, the first book to be written about this company, Tim Jackson exposes a fascinating story of personal rivalry, powerful emotion, technological leadership, aggressive marketing, and spectacular failure and success. A company with as much paranoia as Apple, as much will to succeed as Microsoft, as much pig-headed arrogance as IBM, and led by some formidable characters who risked $1 billion and their entire trade reputation on concealing an error in the Pentium chip, provides the basis for a Barbarians at the Gate of a book by one of our leading authors.‘Has all the elements of a successful novel – power battles among industry titans, excessive wealth, ruthless management and even sex’ – Financial Times

Inside Intel

First published in 1994 and now available as an ebook.This edition does not include illustrations.Richard Branson is unique among today's folk heroes. Which other self-made British billionaire could lay claim to the highest esteem of our school children? Which other company chairman could be referred to by former BA Chairman Lord King as a 'pirate', having launched an airline largely on the profits of a pop song, and then go on to strike terror into the hearts of Coca-Cola and Pepsi by repackaging a branded cola? Only Branson. He is the everyman entrepreneur of our times: half marketing genius, half motivational wizard.'Virgin King' explains how Branson started a mail-order record business in 1969 and ended up with a corporate conglomerate and riches beyond his dreams today. In the first fully independent, unauthorised account of one of the great success stories of our time, Tim Jackson reveals how a public-school drop-out has found the key to presenting aggressive business acumen with a friendly face. 'Virgin King' is the compelling history of both a private business empire and the man at its centre.

Capitalism is broken. The relentless pursuit of more has delivered climate catastrophe, social inequality and financial instability – and left us ill-prepared for life in a global pandemic. Tim Jackson’s passionate and provocative book dares us to imagine a world beyond capitalism – a place where relationship and meaning take precedence over profits and power. [i]Post Growth[/i] is both a manifesto for system change and an invitation to rekindle a deeper conversation about the nature of the human condition.
