Moreover, Stuart L. Hart argues, it's economically unnecessary. But there are surprising reasons for hope—from the history of capitalism itself. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Shareholder Primacy\u003c\/i\u003e argues that capitalism has reformed itself twice before and is poised for a third major reformation. Retelling the origin story of capitalism from the fifteenth century to the present, Hart argues that a radically sustainable, just capitalism is possible, and even likely, in our lifetime. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHart goes on to describe what it will take to move beyond capitalism's present worship of \"shareholder primacy,\" including corporate transformations to re-embed purpose and reforms to major economic institutions. A key requirement is eliminating the \"externalities\" (or collateral damage) of our current shareholder capitalism. Sustainable capitalism will explicitly incorporate the needs of society and the planet, include a financial system that allows leaders to prioritize the planet, reorganize business schools around sustainable management thinking, and enable corporations not just to stop ignoring the damage they cause, but actually begin to create positive impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56326812041590,"sku":"9781503636217","price":31.22,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_36018646.jpg?v=1758534091","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781503636217-beyond-shareholder-primacy","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
