Capitalism at Risk, Updated and Expanded: How Business Can Lead

Threats to market capitalism--populism, income inequality, cyberattacks, global migration, and environmental degradation to name a few--are on the rise. Three eminent Harvard Business School professors show how business can lead in addressing these issues and securing a stable future for market capitalism through entrepreneurship and innovation.

• Broad, context-setting point of view about the future of market capitalism, with a framework for understanding both its limits and its potential. • Provocative look at various future scenarios for market capitalism--from, on the one hand, strife and conflict between nations, to, on the other hand, a new form of cooperation and institution-building for managing challenges and ensuring the continued sustainability of market capitalism. • Realistic discussion of business's potential responses to the threats and challenges. • Examples, such as Nike and JP Morgan and others, of companies that illustrate how business is leading the way to meet the challenges head on to secure a more stable future for market capitalism.

Audience:

• Leaders of business, government, NGOs, and business schools around the world. • All those interested in the role of business and society.
