Reviews

'The crash of 2008 marked the end of one form of rather autistic capitalism. But below the surface a new way of doing business has been emerging - it is ethical and has integrity because it's based on the reciprocity of deep relationships. If the economic base has at least some bearing on the social infrastructure then anyone who wants to understand the economy and society should read Understanding Creative Business.' Neal Lawson, Chair of Compass and author of All Consuming
