The New Capitalist Manifesto

Global Business

Available for over a year

When the dust from the financial crisis of the past five years settles, do we get back to business as usual? Or are there better ways of running our world? In Global Business Peter Day poses these questions, and more, to a man who has written a book about it called The New Capitalist Manifesto. Umair Haque is a prolific blogger and commentator and he advocates a new set of ideals to replace those business has come to accept; those of exploitation of resources, top-down command, withholding of information from stakeholders, and a single-minded pursuit of profit for its own sake.
