Capitalism as if the World Matters by Jonathon Porritt is a thought-provoking exploration of how capitalism can be reformed to address environmental concerns. In this revised edition, Porritt presents fresh evidence and new actions to help mitigate the impact of human activity on the planet.

A valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the relationship between business and the environment, this book is essential reading for business executives, environmental activists, community leaders, and politicians alike.
