Description
Accountable: A Blueprint for Transforming Capitalism
Capitalism is failing and the tools we're relying on to fix it are only making things worse. Corporations claim to be socially responsible, but their actions often contradict this rhetoric. In Accountable, authors Michael O'Leary and Warren Valdmanis offer a fresh perspective on how to change the purpose of our corporations and build a more inclusive, sustainable, and just society.
The book argues that we need to focus on corporations rather than people, and that those responsible for the current crisis should not be trusted to fix it. Instead, everyone can take responsibility for using their economic power as consumers, investors, employees, and voters to trigger a fundamental shift away from an economy that is unethical, unfair, and destructive to our environment and institutions.
