Media Reviews
Review from previous edition "Mayer of the Saïd Business School at Oxford is one of the world's foremost critics of the idea that the aim of companies is to maximise shareholder value. This, he argues cogently, represents a betrayal of one of humanity's most extraordinary inventions." * Martin Wolf, Books of the Year 2018, The Financial Times *
The book is far more than a manifesto for change ... Mayer's book performs a great service. * Richard Bronk, the Society of Professional Economists, Reading Room (open access) *
"A powerful reply to the steadily increasing criticism of free market business... So far, the defenders of capitalism have failed to find a convincing voice or to offer any significant ways to improve how business is perceived. Now Colin Mayer provides answers and a coherent manifesto for change." * Peter Chadwick, IEDP Book Reviews *
"A wonderful manifesto for change and essential reading for any who remain to be convinced that business can - and should - be a force for a societal good. One of the most insightful and comprehensive accounts yet of how - and why - the corporation needs to change if it is to meet the needs and expectations of a new era. Thoughtful and well-argued, Mayer has done the cause of enlightened capitalism great service." * Paul Polman, CEO, Unilever *
