There is efficiency and effectiveness. One should consider both, is what Roger Martin is saying.
Following Roger’s advice. Don’t buy the book from Amazon. Buy it from a competitor.
Fascinating and interesting. I disagree though that monopolies are fine because it sorts itself out eventually. Consolidation and monopoly/duopoly/oligopoly is toxic in ways we never imagined.

I agree! "sort itself out eventually" could be 70 years straight. Corporate monopolies are almost never a good thing, they always abuse their power.
Roger's comments would better serve if he said the thing that he alludes to, but that he's avoids saying directly: if the middle does not get enough of the economic pie it can lead to the loss of democracy and a move towards totalitarianism. He should not dance around this... he should say it clearly and loudly.
Don't just search on Google...😀
Roger Martin's book is brilliant but unfortunately in some aspects is simply wrong. His chart on average income by percentile 1913-2015 is pre-tax and ignores the fact that the top 1% pay 14.7% of all taxes and the bottom 90 percent receive virtually 100% of transfer payments such as pensions, welfare, public health care, etc. Adjusted for those transfers and expressed on an after tax basis the lines between the top 1% and the bottom 90% converge. He is right that the top .1 and .01% have substantially higher income than the rest of society but fails to point out just how few people those segments comprise - less than 10,000 for the top .01% of income earners, and that 107 million Americans pay no taxes at all. He was wise to consider the Pareto distribution but seems to have omitted any consideration of the finding of Vilfredo Pareto that the Pareto distribution holds validly for income distributions in all societies regardless of systems of government with no material difference between free market, socialist or even communist systems. Pareto's observation implies at a minimum that Mr. Martin's proposed solutions will fail if applied and may create adverse consequences to the extent they interfere with market forces.
The comparison between Chinese citizenship and Indian citizenship indicates a very biased world view by Roger Martin...

Totally agree. Slightly sad really for an academic.
