    An Eye-Opening Look at the Hershey Trust
  

*by E***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021*

I live an hour from Hershey, Pa., and have taken in sporting events, concerts and the amusement park at Hershey for decades. Peter Kurie does a deep dive into the trust that controls all things Hershey with this book. The book is worth reading for anyone with an interest in Hershey, and the revelations contained within will be at least somewhat disappointing to anyone inspired by the larger mission of Hershey's.There are still lots of children who are helped by the trust left behind by Milton Hershey, but in recent times, the trust and the board overseeing it has become a way to seriously enrich board members. Serving on the board of the trust can now be worth as much as half a million dollars a year for members. Examples of self-dealing by board members have also grown common in recent years.I think readers will probably have to have at least some interest in Hershey's or the local area to enjoy the book. At places, the book gets deep in the weeds of local religious history. That said, it will still be an eye-opening read for anyone local to the area.

    A Detailed Look At A Complicated Town And Company
  

*by F***L on Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020*

Hershey, Pa is the town where Milton Hershey set up his factory to make affordable chocolate bars for the masses. In the time he set up the company, chocolate was mostly an upper crust item that the average person could ill afford to buy, let alone try.He also created a town, named after himself in which to employ workers and to some degree, take care of them.Finally, after his death, he created a fund to create the Milton Hershey School for Orphans. The trust is probably the most contentious thing going on in this day and age. Originally controlled  by people Hershey respected, it has come under fire in recent years for a number of things. One was a takeover bid and the thought of selling the chocolate company to "outsiders" who may have torn down the factory and changed the entire landscape of the town.Others are grieved by the trustees of the school, who have been accused of insider dealing and of looking out for their pocketbooks before those of the children they tend to.Overall, a fascinating look into the dynamics that took place in Hershey and are still occurring today.

    The Hershey example has lessons for everyone; this book illustrates them wonderfully
  

*by E***C on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2018*

"Can business take care of people? Can it build and sustain communities? Can it save lives?" The ramifications of these questions, asked by Kurie in the introduction, take the importance of this book well beyond the boundaries of the town itself. You need not have grown up in ol' Chocolatetown, nor even have visited, to learn valuable lessons from this example (and from Kurie's great work in investigating it). Though, as someone who did in fact grow up there, I enjoyed one interviewee's assessment of Hershey as being "a very expensive fantasy," and I applaud Kurie's inclusion of the union history (e.g. the '37 workers' strike) and current struggles in international labor rights in the town's often sugar-coated story.
