The Raging 2020s - Alec Ross - Bog

A BLOOMBERG BOOK OF THE YEAR 'This book will challenge you to rethink some of your assumptions about democracy, capitalism, and globalization.' - Adam GrantHuge corporations are acting like nations, global wealth is going to billionaires and ordinary people are suffering. It's set to be a rocky decade - but we can fix it.As the market consolidates under fewer and larger companies, it's increasingly in the interest of private companies to behave like nations.

It shouldn't be like this.New York Times bestselling author Alec Ross weaves interviews with the world's most influential thinkers with fascinating stories of corporate activism and malfeasance, government failure and renewal, and innovative economic and political models being implemented around the world, to propose a new social contract - one that benefits workers and everyday citizens in the face of unprecedented global change.
