Download Capitalists Arise!: End Economic Inequality, Grow the Middle Class, Heal the Nation AudioBook Free
Peter Georgescu found its way to this country as a penniless Romanian refugee and rose to become the CEO of Young & Rubicam. Which is why he's so heartsick that in America today, with even wages, disappearing careers, and a shrinking middle class, his kind of rags-to-riches tale doesn't seem possible now. But he has a note for his fellow CEOs: we're the ones who must take the lead in fixing the economy. Marshaling deeply sobering information, Georgescu depicts the stark simple fact of America today: a nation with greater riches inequality and lower cultural mobility than simply about some other country in the developed world. But the situation isn't that free-market capitalism no more works - it's that it's been hijacked by shareholder primacy. Where once our business leaders seemed to the needs and passions of a variety of stakeholders - employees, community people, the business itself - now they're myopically centered on maximizing their shareholders' profits and little or nothing else. Capitalists Arise! shows how the short-term thinking spawned by shareholder primacy sits at the main of your current financial malaise and cultural break down. But Georgescu offers concrete actions that capitalists themselves can take to create an improved future - pay a fair wage, build up the business rather than just the stock price, and more. The irony is that if businesses do this, shareholders will do even better. In the long run, businesses can prosper only when modern culture is healthy and strong. This e book is a manifesto calling on capitalists to heal the national that has given them so much.
