Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business by John Mackey, Rajendra Sisodia

4.0

---

A compelling and relevant call-to-arms for business to get outside of its share-price mindset. Capitalism has led to the greatest innovation in the world, en masse. This book points out the should-be obvious flaws that our current system plays into. Eschewing Milton Friedman’s misguided view that the business’s sole purpose is to drive shareholder price up, Conscious Capitalism implores the treatment of business as one would a living organism or ecosystem. Balance, innovation, and fairness will beget wealth and happiness for all and it is in that pursuit that capitalism can transform a society.
