Ethical Capitalism. What it can do for you.

Ethical Capitalism. What it can do for you.

Do you feel the system is failing you? Has your income declined, your 401k and mutual funds tanked, your home lost value? Working longer and earning the same or less?

Drawing on the causes and lessons of the Great Recession of 2007-2009, Ethical Capitalism gives you the tools, knowledge and skills to not only cope but thrive in the current hypercompetitive labor market. And it provides policymakers with an agenda to make our free markets ethical by curbing and banning highly speculative activities to prevent the world economy from again being turned into a giant and crooked casino. We cannot accept a race to the bottom should countries disregard labor and environmental standards and turn a blind eye to corruption. We need markets that work for people and not the other way around.
