Healing Capitalism<br />

Five Years in the Life of Business, Finance<br />

and <strong>Co</strong>rporate Responsibility<br />

Jem Bendell and Ian Doyle<br />

l Key events, issues and trends in corporate<br />

responsibility during the first decade of the<br />

21st century<br />

l A vision and practice of a new form of capitalism<br />

l Drawn on Lifeworth’s annual CR reviews<br />

The global response from business to social and<br />

environmental issues during the past decade<br />

has created a corporate responsibility movement.<br />

But what has been the impact of this<br />

movement? The financial crisis that began in<br />

2007 has led more and more people to question<br />

the fundamentals of our economic system.<br />

new title<br />

Now, some within the corporate responsibility<br />

movement are developing a vision and<br />

practice of a new form of capitalism, one that<br />

will require collective action to achieve.<br />

Bendell and Doyle draw on Lifeworth’s<br />

annual reviews of corporate responsibility and<br />

propose a wellness framework whereby business<br />

is a conduit for enhancing life and the<br />

systems that support it. They explain how business<br />

leaders, stakeholders and related academe<br />

now need to experiment with new models that<br />

address the fundamental flaws of contemporary<br />

capitalism, including monetary systems, enterprise<br />

ownership, and regulation. This book will<br />

be a fantastic resource for business libraries, as<br />

it records and analyses key events, issues and<br />

trends in corporate responsibility during the<br />

first decade of the 21st century. It is a sequel<br />

and companion to Bendell’s previous work, The<br />

<strong>Co</strong>rporate Responsibility Movement (<strong>Greenleaf</strong><br />

<strong>Publishing</strong>, 2009).<br />

The Quest for<br />

Sustainable Business<br />

An Epic Journey in Search of <strong>Co</strong>rporate<br />

Responsibility<br />

Wayne Visser<br />

l Insights from the author’s 2010 “CSR Quest<br />

World Tour”<br />

l Stories, ideas and links to video interviews<br />

with some of the biggest names in sustainable<br />

business practices<br />

recent title<br />

The author shares what he<br />

has learned in encounters<br />

with mega-corporations<br />

and small farmers, and<br />

conversations with CEOs<br />

and social entrepreneurs.<br />

There are facts and figures<br />

about world trends, and<br />

interviews with thought<br />

leaders and activists. This<br />

is a tale that consciously<br />

weaves the personal and the professional, mixing<br />

anecdotes and case studies. It looks outwards<br />

and reflects inwards, and is both autobiography<br />

and the life story of a global movement.<br />

“The Quest for Sustainable Business is two things: the most important and, in certain respects<br />

the only, historical account of corporate responsibility to date, and a bloody good read.”<br />
