Subtitle: Towards a Stakeholder Economy
The aim of this report is to help us imagine a better common economic life, one which rewards all the stakeholders in business, rather than privileging the shareholding few. This tale of two cities is a true one. It happens all the time. It is happening now. Which City do you want to live in?
The aim of this report is to help us imagine a better common economic life, one which rewards all the stakeholders in business, rather than privileging the shareholding few. Such a move can and does benefit people, planet and profit, but it will only do so when we move from a story fuelled by extraction to one formed by creation. The authors of this report work in politics, economics and management, but are also trained in theology. As such they are steeped in the deep stories that have shaped our economic, political and social life. A full consideration of these deeper ideas that underly our institutions (for good and for ill) is necessary if we are to truly imagine a better way to conduct our business and how we shape our economic policies.
