Reimagining our global economy so it becomes sustainable and prosperous for all
Our global economic system is broken. But we can replace the current picture of global upheaval, unsustainability, and uncertainty with one of an economy that works for all people, and the planet. First, we must eliminate rising income inequality within societies where productivity and wage growth has slowed. Second, we must reduce the dampening effect of monopoly market power wielded by large corporations on innovation and productivity gains. And finally, the short sighted exploitation of natural resources that is corroding the environment and affecting the lives of many for the worse must end.
The debate over the causes of the broken economylaissez faire government, poorly managed globalization, the rise of technology in favor of the few, or yet another reasonis wide open. Stakeholder Capitalism: A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet argues convincingly that if we don't start with recognizing the true shape of our problems, our current system will continue to fail us. To help us see our challenges clearly, Schwabthe Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forumlooks for the real causes of our system's shortcomings, and for solutions in best practices from around the world in places as diverse as China, Denmark, Ethiopia, Germany, Indonesia, New Zealand, and Singapore. And in doing so, Schwab finds emerging examples of new ways of doing things that provide grounds for hope, including:
Individual agency: how countries and policies can make a difference against large external forcesA clearly defined social contract: agreement on shared values and goals allows government, business, and individuals to produce the most optimal outcomesPlanning for future generations: short sighted presentism harms our shared future, and that of those yet to be bornBetter measures of economic success: move beyond a myopic focus on GDP to complete, human scaled measures of societal flourishingBy accurately describing our real situation, Stakeholder Capitalism is able to pinpoint achievable ways to deal with our problems. Chapter by chapter, Professor Schwab shows us that there are ways for everyone at all levels of society to reshape the broken pieces of the global economy andcountry by country, company by company, and citizen by citizenglue them back together in a way that benefits us all.
Stakeholder Capitalism: A Global Economy that Works for Progress, People and Planet Reviews
-
With due respect to Herr Prof. Klaus Schwab and his initiative of the high powered global WEF I found the book raises hope high but falls short of by emphasis on the word stakeholders as a panacea for a way forward for a fairer global sustainable World. I feel somewhat but am actually not intimated by many testimonies written by the movers and shakers and illustrious names. Time for Trickle down and Tinkering should have been over.

Le idee esposte da Klaus Schwab, fondatore del World Economic Forum, sono giuste. Il libro racconta la storia dell'economia in modo molto comprensibile e corretto. Soprattutto la prima metà è una gioia da leggere.
-
Propone un nuevo modelo de capitalismo basado en el progreso compartido de todos los países, en la atención a los habitantes del mundo sin distinción y el cuidado del planeta por todos los que en él vivimos.
-
El libro propone una nueva época del capitalismo, y en general para la sociedad futura. Interesante y hasta polémico.
-
The content in this book is very useful and it makes you think a bit deeper, not only for the profit you can reach.
