26:4 issue contents - The New Corporatism
Article
Business as usual no longer holds. More than a decade on from the financial crash, fundamental failings in orthodox theories of the role of business and purpose of profit have become brutally clear. And, at the start of a new decade, growing inequality, a lack of shared prosperity, and a looming climate crisis have further exposed the limits of the status quo.
This issue looks to outline a new vision for the future of business – combining profit with purpose, to create a more just country for all.
