America for Sale: How the Foreign Pack Circled and Devoured Esmark

America for Sale recaps the amazing, sometimes incredible events leading up to the sale of Esmark, including intense pressure from the United Steelworkers and the company\u27s major public shareholder to make a decision not in the best interest of all shareholders. It also analyzes the efforts by the Esmark board of directors to observe its fiduciary duty, details the company\u27s poison pill effort to raise its sales price, and describes the actions of Leo Gerard and Ron Bloom of the United Steelworkers Union―which led to some surprising alliances. The authors―one Esmark\u27s president and vice chairman of the board, the other an Esmark director, preeminent American economist, and former university president―then provide their own assessment of the Esmark story. They offer legislative and policy prescriptions aimed at making sure U.S. business doesn\u27t devolve into one big garage sale to foreigners seeking to take advantage of the coming decline of the U.S. dollar.
