Confronting CapitalismReal Solutions for a Troubled Economic System
Philip Kotler
With the fall of the Berlin Wall, one economic modelemerged triumphant. Capitalismspanning a spectrumfrom laissez faire to authoritarianshapes the market econo-mies of all the wealthiest and fastest-growing nations.
But trouble is cracking its shiny veneer. In the U.S., Europe, andJapan, economic growth has slowed down. Wealth is concen-trated in the hands of a few; natural resources are exploited forshort-term profit; and good jobs are hard to find.
With piercing clarity, Philip Kotler explains 14 major problemsundermining capitalism, including persistent poverty, jobcreation in the face of automation, high debt burdens, the dis-proportionate influence of the wealthy on public policy, steepenvironmental costs, boom-bust economic cycles, and more.
Amidst its dire assessment of whats ail ing us, ConfrontingCapitalism delivers a heartening message: We can turn thingsaround. Movements toward shared prosperity and a higherpurpose are reinvigorating companies large and small, whileproposals abound on government policies that offer protections
without stagnation. Kotler identifies the best ideas, linkingprivate and public initiatives into a force for positive change.
Combining economic history, expert insight, business lessons,and recent data, this landmark book elucidates todays criticaldilemmas and suggests solutions for returning to a healthier,
more sustainable Capitalismthat works for all.PHILIP KOTLER (Chicago, IL) is the S.C.

failure once and for all. Complete with worksheets, tips, andtechniques, getting in shape has never been so easyor somuch fun.

that Saved a Beloved Business
Daniel Korschun and Grant Welker
What if a company were so treasured and trusted thatpeople literally took to the streetsby the thousandstosave it? That company is Market Basket, a popular New Englandsupermarket chain.
After long-time CEO Arthur T. Demoulas was ousted by his cou-sin Arthur S. Demoulas, the companys managers and rank-and-file workers struck back. Risking their own livelihoods to restorethe job of their beloved boss they walked out, but they didnt
walk far. At huge protest rallies, they were joined by loyal custo-mersleaving stores empty. Suppliers and vendors stoppeddeliveriesrendering shelves bare. Politicians were forced to
take sides. The national media and experts were stunned by theunprecedented defense of an executive. All openly challengedthe Market Basket board of directors to make things right.
And, in the end, they prevailed.
With its arresting firsthand accounts from the streets and execu-tive suites, We Are Market Basketis as inspiring as it is instructive.
What is it about Market Basket and its leader that provokes suchferocious loyalty? How does a company spread across threestates maintain a culture that embraces everyonefrom cashierto customeras family? Can a company really become an in-dustry leader by prioritizing stakeholders over shareholders?
Set against a backdrop of bad blood and corporate greed, WeAre Market Basketis, above all, a page-turner that chronicles theepic rise, fall, and redemption of this iconic and uniquely
American company.
