Thank you readers for engaging with this newsletter! I have appreciated your support and hearing from many of you.
Apologies for blatant self promotion, but I think it is a topic of interest and also I have a special discount to offer.
After years researching corporate sustainability, I’m excited to share that my new book, THE PROFITEERS: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs is publishing on May 14, 2024. In it, 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.
I’ve worked with Porchlight Books to offer a 35% off discounted pre-order rate should you want to order copies (offer ends April 30). Originally this was for B Corps, but I’ve opened it up to everyone and do hope you consider buying the book or supporting the release in other ways.
As I show in The Profiteers, 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.
Please don’t hesitate to be in touch if you have other comments or ideas, or would like to discuss them further.
Thank you again!
Indeed a topic of interest, and agree that a look at the system is what's needed.
I think you'd like Indy Johar's take on this, Christopher! We talk about it amongst other things in this episode of my podcast. Maybe we can have a conversation at some point! https://episodes.fm/1691882206/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcHAuc3ByaW5nY2FzdC5mbS8xODU5My9jdG0tNC1ib3JpbmctcmV2b2x1dGlvbi13aXRoLWluZHktam9oYXI=
