Abstract
: 
"Grassroots owners have ideas about value that differ markedly from those of Wall Street players, tycoons, or politicians. And corporate directors and executives are coming under increasing pressure to respond. The New Capitalists: How Citizen Investors Are Reshaping the Corporate Agenda provides examples - from GE to Disney to British Petroleum - of enterprises whose shareowners are beginning to wield influence in ways unimaginable just several years ago."--Jacket.
