More about the book
This examination of the future material, social, and intellectual vigor of business in the United States analyzes the opportunities and challenges ahead. It emphasizes the fundamental forces and trends—both internal and external—that will shape business in the coming decades and their broader societal implications. The book is structured into five chapters, starting with the assertion that corporations must articulate guiding principles that connect their actions to a range of human aspirations beyond mere economic gain. The subsequent chapter forecasts the future of business in light of its international context and its interactions with various societal elements. It discusses the role of multinational corporations in the post-1945 expansion of international trade, termed "the new imperialism," and examines the reciprocal relationship between business and government. Additionally, it addresses the implications of transitioning from fixed-age to flexible-age retirement and the evolving dynamics of business-government relations. The concluding chapter delves into various economic issues, their political ramifications, the necessity for international cooperation, and the role of business in addressing these challenges. This monograph will appeal to business professionals, consumers, employees, politicians, and the general public.
