Global Business: The New Capitalist Manifesto

The New Capitalist Manifesto

BBC World Service - Global Business, The New Capitalist Manifesto

Peter Day hears from Umair Haque about a new set of business ideals.

When the dust from the financial crisis of the past five years settles, do we get back to business as usual? Or are there better ways of running our world? 

In Global Business Peter Day poses these questions, and more, to a man who has written a book about it called The New Capitalist Manifesto. 

Umair Haque is a prolific blogger and commentator and he advocates a new set of ideals to replace those business has come to accept; those of exploitation of resources, top-down command, withholding of information from stakeholders, and a single-minded pursuit of profit for its own sake.
