But in 1985, GOSL filed papers with the state of South Carolina seeking authorization to do business in the state.

The Guardian found it opened an office in Hilton Head, the home of Al Dunlap, a notorious corporate raider Goldsmith was hiring to run his US operations.

Dunlap had been living part-time on Hilton Head in the early eighties when he was running a company that made paper cups.

Ronson's earlier book, The Psychopath Test, has a purer example.

He visited Al Dunlap, a chief executive named Chainsaw Al for his enthusiasm for firing people, and found his Florida house full of sculptures of predatory animals.

Dunlap spoke admirably about the predatory spirit, which happens to be one of the warning signs on the psychopathy checklist, and he happily admitted to plenty of others, describing them as leadership qualities.

Four years after Sunbeam fired him, he paid the American financial regulator half a million dollars to settle fraud charges and was banned from running a public company for life.

You know, you got a new CEO that typically happens.

Unless it's Al Dunlap, then he pretty much chops everybody and splits the company up.

That won't happen.

Al Dunlap is not the CEO there.

Not interested right now, particularly, I mean, you know, the trend is your friend until the bend at the end.

When I look at this picture, I don't think that this trend is ending.

You know, they made movies about it where suddenly these masters of the universe were crushing companies together.

Jack Welch and Chainsaw Al Dunlap and all these guys taking dozens of small companies and crushing them together into one giant company.

And the result of that.

is that now there's not a single industry in America that's not dominated by a handful of companies that operate as a cartel.
