From the introductory pages: 

'Shoe Dog is a great American story about luck, grit, know-how and the magic alchemy of a handful of eccentric characters who came together to build Nike.  That it happened at all is a miracle, because as I learned from this book, though we are a nation that extols free enterprise, we also excel at thwarting it....'  Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone


Shoe Dog describes itself as a memoir by the creator of Nike - an ideal read for the aspiring business entrepreneur - or possibly the anti-capitalist!
