Our world faces multiple existential challenges. The ways of doing business and governing nations are now dysfunctional and we are traversing the abyss to extinction. This book identifies a credible path to bypass this disaster. It is anchored on a leadership leap from 'knowledge' to 'wisdom', driven by political and business leaders manifesting key traits of awareness, bridge-building, and compassion.
We are at a watershed moment in human history. While capitalism is unreformable and set for burial, capitalists (owners of capital) can flourish, provided they embrace the inescapable truism that the primacy of profit must make way for the predominance of people and the planet. This demands a paradigm shift from capitalism to Peopleism-a new system of governance that will nurture true democracy rooted in equity, sustainability, transparency, and justice.
Capitalism to Peopleism is not just a game-changer; it is a new game-creator. It evolves the essential features of 'an economics that works for all', emphasizing a growth strategy that discards the myth of 'trickle-down' policies to unveil a 'surge-up' development structure, not in incremental tweaks but through systemic transformation. The book invites you to 'shape your future before it shapes you'. It is a book that inspires and empowers everyone who aspires to live in a safer, happier world.
