Synopsis
The memoir of an influential Marxist scholar, professor and game inventor turned business man, BALL BUSTER? is a business adventure story, with enough ups, downs, victories, defeats and suspense to fill a Hitchcock film. It is also an extremely humorous autobiography, full of irony and satire, and sprinkled with scholarly insights, a critical view of business as seen from the inside, and a case study of the Marxist theory of embodiment, which holds that the role you play in society is decisive in determining what kind of person you are., Ball Buster? is the second edition (the original title was Class Struggle is the Name of the Game) of a straight forward business adventure story, with enough ups, downs, victories, defeats, and suspense to fill a Hitchcock film. It is also an extremely humorous autobiography, full of irony and satire, and sprinkled with scholarly insights, a critical view of business as seen from the inside, and a case study of the Marxist theory of embodiment, which states that the role you play in society is decisive in determining what kind of person you are., Bertell Ollman recounts the challenges of finding American distribution for his revolutionary board game Class Struggle (over 250,000 copies sold). His misadventures explode the myth of capitalism, showing the struggles small-business owners face. This revised edition updates readers on what has happened in Ollman's life and work since 1983. "A delightfully well-written book that reveals the darker side of the entrepreneurial reaches for success." -- New York Daily News

    Mistakenly ordered a paperback that I thought was a hardcover, not sellers fault; it was described properly on the listing. Seller still processed a refund the day I went to return the item and let me keep the item anyway. A+++ service. Book arrived quickly in great condition and for a great price. Thank you so much! Amazing seller!

    seller was communicative about my shipment, media mail took a while and tracking wasn't updated frequently, but seller communicated to me very quickly on status. the item came new and wrapped as described, though the packaging in it was packed wasn't sturdy and falling apart when it got to me.
