THERE IS NO DENIAL: CAPITALISM IS IN CRISIS! Our prevailing economic model, once celebrated as a beacon of liberal enlightenment, now stands accused of complicity in a myriad of societal challenges, resulting in unprecedented ecological and social damage. Deep anxiety permeates society, fuelled by profound concerns about the state of the world and a growing disillusionment with the dominant narrative of progress. Yet, most people still operate within the implicit acceptance of growth-based consumer capitalism and current policy proposals continue to fall short. Despite the pioneering efforts of many individuals and groups, heterodox perspectives continue to be overlooked by many business schools and leadership development programs. BUSINESS FOR HUMANITY That is why we are launching "Business for Humanity" - a series of interactive monthly webcasts dedicated to promoting viable enhancements and alternatives to our economic system. Our live sessions aim to nurture comparative and integrative discussion, in order to foster deeper understanding and inspire tangible actions. Together with our engaged audience, we'll systematically explore the underlying premises, shed light on practical implications, and unveil the strengths and weaknesses of innovative paradigms. Whether you're a researcher or practitioner, these sessions will promise valuable insights and inspiration for a collective new narrative. BUSINESS FOR HUMANITY WITH CHRISTIAN FELBER Join us for an exclusive interview with Christian Felber, visionary founder of the Economy for the Common Good (ECG)! In this episode, we'll explore how the ECG offers a transformative framework for economic and social change, grounded in democratic values, sustainability, and solidarity. Discover how collaborative action and institutional innovation are reshaping the economy to serve the well-being of all individuals and communities, fostering a more just, equitable, and sustainable world. We'll delve into the values and beliefs driving the ECG's ethos, the intricacies of political and economic institutions needed to transform a capitalistic incentive system focused on growth and individual profit, including the concept of a cooperative market economy and the radical reformation of finance and banking. The ECG's approach is not only distinguished by its sophisticated theoretical foundations but also by its proven operational success. With over 4500 members worldwide, this movement stands as a beacon of hope for positive change on a global scale! Don't miss a memorable conversation that promises new insights and inspiration!
