What if business could help solve the greatest problems of our time?
Free market capitalism is one of humanity's greatest inventions, and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But it's also on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society in its single-minded pursuit of maximizing shareholder value.
Rebecca Henderson, McArthur University Professor at Harvard University, argues for a new framework; one that can simultaneously make a positive societal impact by confronting the realities of the environment and the need to address social and economic inequality, while also delivering sustained financial performance to ensure economic growth that brings prosperity and wellbeing to society as a whole.
Drawing on the lessons of companies from around the world who are acting on this responsibility - who are not only surviving but are thriving, becoming leaders in their industries and beginning to drive the wheels of change - Professor Henderson proves that this is not only a moral imperative for business but also the only way to remain competitive in our changing world.

Recenzii
Thispowerful
and
readable
bookis
a
clarion
call
for
reimagining
and
remaking
capitalism.
The
market
economy,
which
used
to
generate
rapid
productivity
growth
and
shared
prosperity,
has
done
much
less
of
that
over
the
last
four
decades.
The
shifting
balance
of
power
in
favor
of
large
companies
and
lobbies,
the
gutting
of
basic
regulations,
the
increasing
ability
of
corporations
and
the
very
rich
to
get
their
way
in
every
domain
of
life,
and
the
unwillingness
of
the
government
to
step
up
to
protect
its
weakest
citizens
are
likely
responsible
for
low
productivity
growth
and
ballooning
inequality
in
the
US
economy.
Rebecca
Henderson
argues
that
the
market
system
can
be
reformed
and
this
can
be
done
without
unduly
harming
corporations.
We
can
have
a
more
moral
and
more
innovative
capitalism.
There
is
hope!

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A renowned Harvard professor debunks prevailing orthodoxy with a new intellectual foundation and a practical pathway forward for a system that has lost its moral and ethical foundation in this "powerful" book (Daron Acemoglu).
Free market capitalism is one of humanity's greatest inventions and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But this success has been costly. Capitalism is on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society as wealth rushes to the top.
The time for action is running short.
Rebecca Henderson's rigorous research in economics, psychology, and organizational behavior, as well as her many years of work with companies around the world, gives us a path forward. She debunks the worldview that the only purpose of business is to make money and maximize shareholder value. She shows that we have failed to reimagine capitalism so that it is not only an engine of prosperity but also a system that is in harmony with environmental realities, striving for social justice and the demands of truly democratic institutions.
Henderson's deep understanding of how change takes place, combined with fascinating in-depth stories of companies that have made the first steps towards reimagining capitalism, provides inspiring insight into what capitalism can be. With rich discussions of how the worlds of finance, governance, and leadership must also evolve, Henderson provides the pragmatic foundation for navigating a world faced with unprecedented challenge, but also with extraordinary opportunity for those who can get it right.
