Publisher's Synopsis
This is an in-depth biography of one of Britain's most successful businessmen. It is a mixture of the man and his business, charting Hanson's rise to the top, his ability to stage complicated takeovers (and the ethics of such takeovers), his "Hansonization" of companies and whether his business philosophy is one that can serve both the needs of Britain's industrial future and his shareholders. It will also be investigating how a corporation that generates huge profits manages to pay such minimal tax in the UK.
