Resumen del Editor

In an era of political and cultural extremism, America’s corporate leaders have emerged as the pragmatic center of a movement for social and economic progress.

The core tenets of a capitalist system that dominated the world for more than a century are being challenged as never before. Narratives about the failures of capitalism, the greed of the 1 percent, and the blindness of corporations to public need have made their mark and are driving change. These aren’t the superficial cosmetic fixes that generated so much cynicism in the past, but a revolution in the way corporations are imagined and run.

Tomorrow’s Capitalist reveals how corporate CEOs—the ultimate pragmatists—realized that they could lose their “operating license” unless they tackle the fundamental issues of our time: climate, diversity and inclusion, and inequality and workforce opportunity. Responding to their employees and customers who are demanding corporate change, they have taken the lead in establishing the bold new principles of stakeholder capitalism, ensuring that for the first time in more than a half a century it is not just shareholders who have a say in how corporations are run.

Alan Murray vividly captures the zeitgeist of the real and compelling dynamic that is transforming much of the corporate world.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Business readers will find plenty to ponder … A wide-ranging reconsideration of long-held ideas about doing business.” — Kirkus Reviews

“Is the shift to stakeholder capitalism for real? Could business indeed discover a moral compass? Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world’s leading CEOs, Murray makes the case that we are living through a moment of profound change in how business leaders understand their role, and argues that this shift is already changing the way that business operates.” — Rebecca Henderson, John and Natty McArthur University Professor, Harvard University, and author of Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire

"No American journalist has a keener understanding of the interrelationships between business, public policy, and society than Alan Murray. In this landmark work, he shares all he has learned in forty years as a premier economic journalist. Murray has the rare quality of balance in these polarized times as he assays all that is transpiring in the business world and what it means." — Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus, Harvard University, and former Secretary of the Treasury under President Clinton
