The Good, the Bad and the Stupid
An unvarnished look back at the year 2010 in business.
BY DAVID VOLK, CHRIS WINTERS, LESLIE HELM, KATE CALAMUSA AND DEANNA DUFF | DECEMBER 2010 | FROM THE PRINT EDITION
ILLUSTRATIONS BY CHAD CROWE
The year 2010 will be remembered more for its ups and downs than for any one particular event. It was the year when we learned that, yes, we were in a recession, but we were now out of it, except that unemployment is still at record highs, except that leading indicators are trending positive … it’s a high-speed carousel ride with all of the dizziness and none of the fun.
Well, mostly no fun. As in previous years, the news for businesses and the people who work for them was a mix of good and bad, but also skull-pounding stupidity. We look at everything from millionaires promoting taxes to activists with pierced noses protesting them, from companies that are gone to those still around after decades, from cool products to dumb products, as well as our growing Hall of Shame of businesspeople gone wild. It’ll make your head spin.
