Social Sustainability for Business

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Given the socio-ecological crises facing the world today, we need to look at not just conserving the planet, but healing it, not just modifications to existing systems and institutions, but radical transformations. In this textbook, the authors provide students with critical information to help us move in this direction."

Kent Walker, University of Windsor, Canada

"The authors succinctly present the story timeline of how many businesses have become unsustainable globally and how we can systematically address the need to turn this around. They have effectively tied together philosophy, business, economics, culture and politics to set the stage for today's students' study of sustainable enterprises. Furthermore, they provide potential solutions for moving forward with a holistic approach to sustainable business systems. I have been waiting for a book like this and will look forward to using in my teachings."

"By directly challenging the profit maximization orthodoxy of the existing system of 'Destructive Advanced Capitalism' and by proposing a new system for socially sustainable business, this book will force business students and faculty to engage in a conversation that envisions business as part of a new social movement for justice."
