The World Is Changing - Are You Ready for It?

With little in the way of fanfare, there has appeared on the horizon a striking new phenomenon in the realm of socially responsible capitalism. Namely, as power moves increasingly into the hands of business, people are looking to corporations instead of governments to solve their problems. More strikingly, this is a worldwide phenomenon, and it has the potential to benefit everybody. With my latest book, World Inc: When It Comes to Solutions - Both Local and Global - Businesses Are Now More Powerful Than Government, I examine the myriad ways in which those corporations that can best address social issues (by creating superior products) will thrive and profit in this new world. If business and social leaders ignore this fact, they risk being left behind on the ash heap of history.
