Description

Capitalists Arise! : End Economic Inequality, Grow the Middle Class, Heal the Nation, Hardcover by Georgescu, Peter; Dorsey, David (CON), ISBN 1523082666, ISBN-13 9781523082667, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Georgescu, who has been chairman of a group of commercial communications companies and served on several boards, and Dorsey, an author, argue that shareholder primacy is one of the drivers of income inequality and the lack of economic opportunity in the US, as companies have focused on rewarding shareholders, rather than strengthening employees, customers, the company itself, communities, and the country. They contend that the vision of free-market capitalism needs to be changed to restore its sense of responsibility to multiple stakeholders and society, resulting in greater profits in the future, supporting society, and re-creating a viable middle class. They discuss the inequality in the US and its outcomes; the effects of globalization, technology, education, tax policy, and business management; the problems with shareholder value; how businesses can take action to change things; and how some companies are already doing so.
