Features: The author, Dr. David Swensen, has collected and utilized extensive practical survey data from enterprises, attempting to critique the past of capitalism from a long-term, patterned perspective using modern scientific achievements and to showcase the future of capitalism. He advocates for the corporate philosophy and wealth principles of conscious capitalism, emphasizing that modern businesses, as the most adaptable institutions in society, should bear a sense of social responsibility and environmental responsibility, jointly creating welfare capitalism. This concept holds positive implications for the socialist construction of China. This book is undoubtedly written for entrepreneurs, as well as for all lovers of wisdom.

The business models of conscious capitalism inspire us
