When You Come to Us Bring Music: The Story of How the World’s Most Successful Company Reinvented Capitalism - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

About 300 years ago an economic experiment began, called Capitalism. It made a lot of people better off. But then it just carried on. Eventually, it carried on to energetically and profitably destroy the climate, wildlife, the environment, cultures, communities, society and all but the very rich.

It was against this background that one of the leading figures in the City of London entered into a period of personal crisis. After a long and often painful journey, he instigated (together with his colleagues) a fundamental change in the intellectual foundations for what businesses do, what they are for and how they work. He has even changed our basic ideas about what being meaningfully ‘busy’ actually means. As a result, the company he leads is now widely recognised as the world’s most influential and successful business.

The story of how these extraordinary events took place is related by Djalal, the car park attendant whose job included parking Sir Jeremy Jameson’s car each morning. He appears to have played a mysterious role in all the events that took place.

This is an enjoyable story but also deadly serious. It describes one route in which humanity might desist from destroying both nature and itself.
