Capitalism for Tomorrow is a penetrating critique of contemporary capitalism. Sykes asks what sort of capitalism we could enjoy tomorrow if the present problems and weaknesses can be addressed. Capitalism for Tomorrow is a businessman's contribution to the perenially important debate on economic and corporate governance. Allen Sykes demonstrates that passive, absentee ownership is the fundamental weakness undermining the full efficiency and accountability of Anglo-American capitalism. He provides original, practicable and integrated remedies to this and other weaknesses to the clear benefit of shareholders, managements, emplloyees and pension fund members alike.
