Albert "Chainsaw Al" Dunlap, who wrote the book "Mean Business" glorifying his exploits of running companies back to "profitability" by firing a third to half the workers and then selling the company before things hit the fan. It didn't work at Sunbeam, and the American Securities Exchange Commission fined him and banned him from corporate roles for life when he tried to hide the problems with dubiously legal accounting gimmicks. This guy was the forerunner of the "elites" who are the target of angry blue collar voters, and a big reason we have Trump and Brexit. Apparently he wasn't all that nice a guy personally either. He didn't go to the funeral of either parent, he was married twice, and one of his sons wouldn't talk to him.
