In Mammon Among Friends, Malcolm C. Harris, Sr. provides commentary and news about the national economy, the Wichita economy, the world of finance, and utility & postal economics. Experiences such as a utility commission staff manager, forecasting postal volumes and revenues, consulting on utility regulation, and teaching corporate finance have shaped his analysis.
