This has become a familiar refrain since the global economic downturn and has worsened through the pandemic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe young of today tend to regard wealth and its creation as alien to the society in which they wish to live, rather than essential to its well-being. Yet, they also regard personal debt, through credit cards and consumer loans, as a matter of entitlement, rather than burden, and have lost the frugal habit of saving that helped their parents' generation build better futures for themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Good, the Bad and the Greedy\u003c\/i\u003e examines how distortions of capitalist mechanisms, and public attitudes towards them, might be rebalanced and how capitalism will be at the forefront of society's recovery from coronavirus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis seminal critique, written from the point of view of a deep admirer of entrepreneurship and private sector investment as a proven path to innovation, social progress and prosperity, argues that businesses always operate in a social context - that a 'good' business in a moral sense can also, in a perfect world, be a business that richly rewards its creators and backers - so long as the basic principles are right.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting aside the nonsense of corporate virtue signaling, Vander Weyer formulates a number of core principles, separating out 'the good' and 'the bad' in today's corporate arena - and placing the spotlight fiercely on a third element: 'the greedy'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Vander Weyer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785905945\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785905940\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Biteback Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.20h x 9.30w x 1.40d","brand":"Martin Vander Weyer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43982287241471,"sku":"9781785905940","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_162f21ad-2628-4c95-b519-657089041f3a.jpg?v=1683260284","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-good-the-bad-and-martin-vander-weyer-9781785905940","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
