Description
Our system of wealth creation is at a crossroads. It has contributed to economic and social progress, yet it has also fuelled many problems from climate impacts and air pollution to digital manipulation and the invasion of privacy. Boon Hwee Ong and Mark Goyder argue that if our societies are to be set on a forward-looking virtuous cycle and a less damaging course, we will need every ounce of human ingenuity. They propose a new approach based on stewardship, which they believe is essential for creating a better form of capitalism. This book explores the concept of stewardship and its application in business and investment decisions, outlining the responsibilities of board members, investors, regulators, and citizens. By injecting the spirit and principles of stewardship into decision-making, we can promote competition that serves rather than dominates, respect human beings, nurture our environment, and create a more sustainable future.
