Faster, Higher, Farther: The Inside Story of the Volkswagen Scandal
When news of Volkswagen’s clean diesel fraud first broke in September 2015, it sent shockwaves around the world. Overnight, the company long associated with quality, reliability and trust became a universal symbol of greed and deception. Consumers were outraged, investors panicked with the company facing bankruptcy.
In Faster, Higher, Farther, Ewing describes VW’s rise from “the people’s car” during the Nazi era to one of Germany’s most prestigious and important global brands. With unprecedented access to key players and a ringside seat during the course of the legal proceedings, the book reveals how the succeed-at-all-costs culture prevalent in modern boardrooms led to one of corporate history’s farthest-reaching cases of fraud.
