What We're Saying
As we make plans to rebuild our economy when we get this pandemic under control, we can think of no better way to start than to focus on and invest in all of our people and communities. Focusing on women, and The Double X Economy, might just be the best way to do that. READ FULL DESCRIPTION

Markets only create genuine freedom of opportunity if everyone has the chance to play. When unchecked markets leave too many people too far behind, they destroy the freedom of opportunity that is fundamental to their own legitimacy. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
No, capitalism didn't cause this mess. But maybe we can use the many crises we are in as an opportunity to reimagine it so it stops contributing to the problems we face. READ FULL DESCRIPTION
Full Description
Free market capitalism is one of humanity's greatest inventions and the greatest source of prosperity the world has ever seen. But this success has been costly. Capitalism is on the verge of destroying the planet and destabilizing society as wealth rushes to the top. The time for action is running short. Rebecca Henderson's rigorous research in economics, psychology, and organizational behavior, as well as her many years of work with companies around the world, give us a path forward. She debunks the worldview that the only purpose of business is to make money and maximize shareholder value. She shows that we have failed to reimagine capitalism so that it is not only an engine of prosperity but also a system that is in harmony with environmental realities, the striving for social justice, and the demands of truly democratic institutions. Henderson's deep understanding of how change takes place, combined with fascinating in-depth stories of companies that have made the first steps towards reimagining capitalism, provide inspiring insight into what capitalism can be. Together with rich discussions of important role of government and how the worlds of finance, governance, and leadership must also evolve, Henderson provides the pragmatic foundation for navigating a world faced with unprecedented challenge, but also with extraordinary opportunity for those who can get it right.
