"In Capitalism and Crises: How to Fix Them, Colin Mayer completes a triptych of books - along with Firm Commitment and Prosperity - which exposes a central problem at the heart of contemporary business civilization: an unhealthy obsession with profits über alles." -- Eric W. Orts, Guardsmark Professor of Legal Studies & Business Ethics, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania "Professor Mayer has provided a master class in why we must, and how we can, reform our capitalist system. By suggesting a reformulation of the 'Golden Rule', he guides the reader to a new framework for the role of business in society. He provides provocative, inspiring, and motivational ideas. This book is for anyone interested in true system change." -- Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Chief Executive of E.L.

This book is for anyone interested in true system change." -- Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Chief Executive of E.L. Rothschild LLC "This book is the culmination of thinking over a brilliant career, and it comes just in time. It provides profound but practical ideas for addressing the underlying issues that are creating an ongoing set of crises. The most pressing and overarching one in the U.S. is a culture war based on extreme political polarization. Professor Mayer's book explains why this polarization exists and the transformation in capitalism he calls for should resonate on both the left and the right." -- Robert Eccles, Visiting Professor of Management Practice, Said Business School, University of Oxford and Retired Professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School "We are failing to address the now existential problems of people and planet - our economies and our businesses are not currently designed to address these problems. Colin Mayer's book is an important contribution to the debate about how to ensure that this design problem is addressed. It should also be a salutary reminder to all of us of the urgency to do so." -- Colm Kelly, Global Leader Corporate Sustainability, PwC International Ltd

Synopsis
The book draws on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance to describe what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. It sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that., bThe world is encountering multiple crises - climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution./bCapitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them - how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it - business - and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it: it will take you through how the capitalist system operates, where it fails and why, and it will demonstrate that at the core of the problem is the key driver of capitalism and that is profit - the way in which we resource and reward those who run the system. Currently, profit comes from causing as well as solving problems. It must not, if we are to prevent the problems. Drawing on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance, Mayer describes what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. He sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that, and discusses how financial institutions should be at the heart of this, and how the public sector can work with the private on a common purpose of solving problems and creating shared prosperity. Capitalism and Crises provides an inspiring and motivational roadmap of how we as practitioners, policymakers, consumers, employees, communities, students, and citizens of the world can together tackle the challenges of the 21st century - to flourish and survive., The world is encountering multiple crises - climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few.
