A BLOOMBERG BOOK OF THE YEAR '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.
