He ponders whether he is winning or losing, and if he will make it out of the jungle of capitalist business with his socialist principles still intact. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description 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.
