Capitalism: The Engine that Moves Humanity
Rajendra Sisodia
FW Olin, Distinguished Professor of Global Business; Whole Foods Market Research Scholar in Conscious Capitalism
Despite the role of capitalism being regularly called into question in our society, Raj Sisodia offers a fresh take on free enterprise and how it has actually lifted humanity all over the world. How can businesses do better to affect the lives of their employees and what does that mean for the bottom line? Don't miss this moving, thought-provoking, and perhaps controversial look at how businesses of all sizes have the power to achieve greater heights.
