Peter Goodman
The Reformer
Changing the system from inside it, principle turned into change.
Peter Goodman earns The Reformer designation by indicting structures rather than scapegoats. The New York Times global economics correspondent builds sustained, evidence-driven cases against economic orthodoxy itself, targeting shareholder primacy, ruthless-efficiency metrics, and monopoly consolidation as the systemic logic that manufactures the crises it claims to prevent. Where peers document dysfunction, Goodman names the architecture behind it and insists on its redesign.
“We've effectively let McKenzie write those kinds of rules. It's not just McKenzie — it's that we've handed over our business and societal fate to shareholder interests, to the exclusion of anything resembling common sense.”
“There's a lot of inefficiency in this ruthless efficiency. My takeaway from doing this book is the metrics we've built our supply chains around have created the very problems they claimed to solve.”
“We essentially sacrifice the lives of these slaughterhouse workers not to feed Americans, to continue to funnel monopoly profits to a handful of companies.”
