OverviewIn our present state of disconnect and loss, Connected Capitalism offers us a deeper and more satisfying approach to both work and life. What should our post-COVID work world look like? In Connected Capitalism, David Weitzner shows us how to draw from the classic teachings of Judaism in order to positively transform our workplaces and our working lives. He outlines a philosophy that will empower the disenchanted to build a stable future in a world of crony capitalism, global pandemics, racial injustice, and social disconnect. Weitzner, a professor of management who chooses to look beyond management and mindfulness, envisions a workplace based on the ancient Jewish practices of mitzvah, creating a space for meaningful moments with other people, and chavrusa, co-creating and working on endeavors together. Combining these spiritual concepts with the voices of today’s political strategists, business leaders, and artists, Connected Capitalism inspires us to approach our work with curiosity, engage with those who were once strangers, and tap into a hopeful and meaningful future.

Einbender University Professor in Business Ethics, Yeshiva University David Weitzner brilliantly draws from Jewish wisdom in Connected Capitalism to align our workplaces with our values. - Tiffany Shlain, author of 24/6: Giving up Screens One Day a Week to Get More Time, Creativity, and Connection and founder of The Webby Awards David Weitzner's voice is a measured, compassionate one as it rises above the din of knee-jerk opinion and judgement. Listen: the man has ideas and he knows how to communicate them. - Nels Cline, Wilco guitarist, composer I enjoyed reading David Weitzner's provocative book. Even though I strongly believe that capitalism and competition has provided significant benefits to society, I agree that a successful business also relies on trust and cooperation in its relations with its customers, workers, and suppliers. Weitzner argues that we should think of work within a concept of 'connected capitalism.'. The best part of this argument is related to spiritualism - we should not be spiritual but do spiritualism. He ties this in with the Jewish concept of chavrusa - taking personal responsibility to fix things in our daily lives. - Jack M. Mintz, President's Fellow of the School of Public Policy, University of Calgary What a book! I find myself nodding and smiling, clenching my fists, gnashing my teeth, and laughing while I read. A vital, significant, and deeply personal book, Connected Capitalism looks at how we can redeem ourselves as a species, a culture, and a society. - Sunshine Jones, electronic musician Author InformationDavid Weitzner is an assistant professor in the School of Administrative Studies at York University.
