'This book will challenge you to rethink some of your assumptions about democracy capitalism
and globalization.' - Adam Grant Huge corporations are acting like nations global wealth is
going to billionaires and ordinary people are suffering. It's set to be a rocky decade - but we
can fix it. As the market consolidates under fewer and larger companies it's increasingly in
the interest of private companies to behave like nations. And when the government is bogged
down in bureaucratic negotiations and culture wars people begin to look to nimble powerful
companies to solve society's problems - and to be our moral standard-bearers. It shouldn't be
like this. New York Times bestselling author Alec Ross weaves interviews with the world's most
influential thinkers with fascinating stories of corporate activism and malfeasance government
failure and renewal and innovative economic and political models being implemented around the
world to propose a new social contract - one that benefits workers and everyday citizens in
the face of unprecedented global change.
