About this listen
The core tenets of a capitalist system that dominated the world for more than a century are being challenged as never before. Narratives about the failures of capitalism, the greed of the 1 percent, and the blindness of corporations to public need have made their mark and are driving change. These aren’t the superficial cosmetic fixes that generated so much cynicism in the past, but a revolution in the way corporations are imagined and run.
Tomorrow’s Capitalist reveals how corporate CEOs—the ultimate pragmatists—realized that they could lose their “operating license” unless they tackle the fundamental issues of our time: climate, diversity and inclusion, and inequality and workforce opportunity. Responding to their employees and customers who are demanding corporate change, they have taken the lead in establishing the bold new principles of stakeholder capitalism, ensuring that for the first time in more than a half a century it is not just shareholders who have a say in how corporations are run.
Alan Murray vividly captures the zeitgeist of the real and compelling dynamic that is transforming much of the corporate world.
Critic Reviews
“With decades of experience studying, investigating, and educating the public about business and capitalism, Alan Murray has tapped into a fundamental truth—one that is both pragmatic and moral: Companies can only grow and prosper if they invest in their employees, serve their customers, support their communities, and recognize their responsibility to help lift up all of society—rather than ignore or ‘drive by’ those who have been left behind. Murray gets it, and in Tomorrow’s Capitalist he lays it out in a compelling, thought-provoking work that can benefit every budding capitalist and business leader.”—Jamie Dimon, chairman and CEO, JP Morgan Chase
“Business readers will find plenty to ponder… A wide-ranging reconsideration of long-held ideas about doing business.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Is the shift to stakeholder capitalism for real? Could business indeed discover a moral compass? Drawing on hundreds of conversations with the world’s leading CEOs, Murray makes the case that we are living through a moment of profound change in how business leaders understand their role, and argues that this shift is already changing the way that business operates.”—Rebecca Henderson, John and Natty McArthur University Professor, Harvard University, and author of Reimagining Capitalism in a World on Fire
“Alan Murray illuminates the path for anyone who aspires to be on the right side of the history of capitalism. From his unique vantage point, Murray paints an inspiring portrait of how business can and ought to work—and of how leaders can and ought to lead—in our now-fused world where political, social, environmental, biological, ethical, and moral issues that were once considered tangential to an organization’s agenda are increasingly viewed as inescapably at the center of it. Murray assembles the right playbook for what business does best—innovating at scale—but designed to meet the imperatives of a post-pandemic world: creating value by truly serving people and putting their concerns and hopes at the core of operations.”—Dov Seidman, author of How and founder and chairman, LRN and the HOW Institute for Society
“Practical, hopeful, and convincing. A must-read for all in leading positions who want to seize the biggest opportunity we have of our times and position themselves well for a prosperous future. As more companies commit themselves to a purpose larger than profits, there is increasing evidence that it might be to the shareholders’ best interest as well.”—Paul Polman, cofounder and chair, IMAGINE, and former CEO, Unilever
