Book Summary of The New Capitalist ManifestoBuilding A Disruptively Better Business
Welcome to the worst decade since the Great Depression. Trillions of dollars of financial assets and shareholder value destroyed; worldwide GDP stalled; new jobs vanishingly scarce. But this isn`t your ordinary recession. It`s evidence that our economic institutions are obsolete--a set of ideas inherited from the industrial age that no longer work for business, people, society, or the future today.
In The New Capitalist Manifesto, economic strategist Umair Haque lays out a new vision. Haque`s stirring call for "constructive capitalism" argues that business as usual has outgrown the old paradigm of short-term growth, competition at all costs, adversarial strategy, Dilbert-esque jobs, and pushing costs onto future generations. He argues that these and other outworn assumptions are good for creating only "thin" value -- gains that are largely illusory, and produce diminishing returns every year.
It doesn`t have to be this way. For companies seeking "thick" value-- enduring, meaningful, sustainable advantage that truly makes society better off--Haque details five new cornerstones of prosperity in the 21st Century:
Loss Advantage: From value chains to value cycles
Responsiveness: From value propositions to value conversations
Resilience: From strategy to philosophy
Creativity: From protecting a marketplace to completing a marketplace
Difference: From goods to betters ISBN
