	The Price of Loyalty - American Marketing Association - www.marketingpower.com
		Loyalty programs, which give consumers rewards for repeat purchases from particular merchants, are almost as common among retailers as cash registers.
		Moreover, loyalty programs are popular with customers: in the United States, 53 percent of grocery customers are enrolled in them, to say nothing of 21 percent of the customers of casual-apparel retailers.
		Second, loyalty programs take on a life of their own once they start, so mistakes can be very difficult to correct.

		Before you read the next sentence, I want you to sign a loyalty oath by which you swear that there will be no quibbling, no criticizing and no wisecracking about this column.
		It is likely that the greatest contribution the Bush-Cheney campaign will ever make to public life will be the loyalty oath that they are requiring before you can attend some of their campaign events.
		But if it is true that politics is a game of inclusion, Bush and Cheney and their loyalty oaths may all be headed for trouble.

		For the uninitiated, loyalty programmes woo you to enrol and then reward your commitment by offering you opportunities to acquire a stock of the "loyalty currency", which in turn gives you access to rewards, discounts or services based on your spending patterns.
		Medical schemes do not aim to make profits from their loyalty schemes, because the intention is to encourage healthier behaviour and, in so doing, reduce the cost of medical scheme membership, which has been soaring over the past few years.

	Whistle Stopper Political Forums - New York Times Review: "The Price of Loyalty"
		My answer to both questions is no.'' Ron Suskind goes on in the ''The Price of Loyalty'' to describe a ''penitent'' Rove (let's see how Rove characterizes his mood when he writes his book) eventually acknowledging that the event was chiefly designed to give air time to key corporate donors.
		What enriches ''The Price of Loyalty,'' aside from the accretion of persuasive detail, is its assertion that in this administration, a time-honored notion of public service has been deeply corrupted.
		For all of the arguments ''The Price of Loyalty'' advances deftly, one point it allows only grudgingly is that the administration had several legitimate beefs with its man at Treasury.

		His public display of loyalty and lack of the same from the family of Sani Abacha, whom he defends above the required allegiance to uphold the honour of this nation as required in the national pledge holds a fascination for me. It dramatises human subjugations in the face of its failings.
		Mind you, the Mallam is not alone in the exercise of blind loyalty and I shall attempt to demonstrate this.
		The Mallam’s loyalty to the Abachas is not for the expurgation of corruption in our system, it is not about truth and neither is it about fairness nor the rule of law, which he pretends.

		The result, The Price of Loyalty, is a gripping look inside the meeting rooms, the in-boxes, and the minds of a famously guarded administration.
		Much of the book, as one might expect from the story of a Treasury Secretary, revolves around economics, but even those not normally enthused by tax code intricacies will be fascinated by the rapid-fire intellects of O'Neill and Fed chairman Alan Greenspan as they gather for regular power breakfasts.
		In this book Suskind draws on unique access to present an astonishing account of a President so carefully managed in his public posture that he is unknown to most Americans.

	The Price of Loyalty: Commentary - 2 February 2004
		Former US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill's inside perspective to the current Bush administration as portrayed in Ron Suskind's book The Price of Loyalty received significant public attention, among others because of his acute criticism of President Bush's lack of economic understanding.
		Very simplified, the main issue we are facing is that we have a huge stimulus through tax cuts, military spending, foreign purchases of US Treasuries, but this stimulus has been unable to generate significant job growth.
		This economy needs consumer spending, but the consumer is exhausted (), and with rising input prices*, corporations have to squeeze costs further and will be very hesitant to hire workers.

		Bush demands a standard of loyalty - loyalty to an individual, no matter what - that O'Neill could never swallow.
		"That's a false kind of loyalty, loyalty to a person and whatever they say or do, that's the opposite of real loyalty, which is loyalty based on inquiry, and telling someone what you really think and feel - your best estimation of the truth instead of what they want to hear."

		O’Neill who served nearly two years as Treasury Secretary and was known for his blunt talking recalls that his first meeting with President Bush turned “into a monologue with the president simply listening and unwilling to engage in a discussion”.
		O’Neill is the main source of “The Price of Loyalty”, a book by journalist Ron Suskind from The Wall Street Journal to be launched in coming weeks.
