It’s #pubday for my friend and collaborator Christopher Marquis, Professor at Cambridge Judge Business School! Check out Chris’s new book, #THEPROFITEERS: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs. Chris is an unusually thoughtful thinker, and well worth reading. In Chris’s own words about his forthcoming book: “It’s not enough to blame and shame… We must rethink and transform the entire system, leaving behind shareholder primacy to create a new, regenerative paradigm. The Profiteers profiles pioneers working to not just reform but transform the way business is conducted all over the world.” ⬇️ Links below to purchase the book. #impact #socialimpact #socialimpactbusiness #ethicalbusiness #sustainablebusiness #BCorps #regenerative #TheProfiteers

New Book Launch! 📘✨. After many years of researching and writing, my new book #THEPROFITEERS: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs is out today! In this book, I expose the strategies that corporations have developed to obscure the adverse consequences of the ways they do business and transfer these hidden costs onto society. But, as I also show, it’s not enough to blame and shame—or even to reform the worst corporate actors. We must rethink and transform the entire system, leaving behind shareholder primacy to create a new, regenerative paradigm. The Profiteers profiles pioneers working to not just reform but transform the way business is conducted all over the world. I am excited to be sharing the book with audiences in the US and UK in the coming weeks! If you want to help support the launch, here are some ways: 📚 Buy a copy for yourself or organization.
