Conscious Capitalism: Liberating the Heroic Spirit of Business
by John Mackey and Rajendra S. Sisodia
Whole Foods Market cofounder John Mackey and professor Raj Sisodia argue for the inherent good of both business and capitalism. Featuring some of today’s best-known companies, Mackey and Sisodia illustrate how these two forces can — and do — work most powerfully to create value for all stakeholders: including customers, employees, suppliers, investors, society, and the environment: “We believe that business is good because it creates value, it is ethical because it is based on voluntary exchange, it is noble because it can elevate our existence, and it is heroic because it lifts people out of poverty and creates prosperity. Free-enterprise capitalism is the most powerful system for social cooperation and human progress ever conceived. It is one of the most compelling ideas we humans have ever had. But we can aspire to something even greater.”

The Pirate Organization: Lessons from the Fringes of Capitalism
by Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne
When capitalism spread along the trade routes toward the Indies…when radio opened an era of mass communication…when the Internet became part of the global economy…pirates were there. And although most people see pirates as solitary anarchists out to destroy capitalism, it turns out the opposite is true. They are the ones who forge the path. In The Pirate Organization, Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne argue that piracy drives capitalism’s evolution and foreshadows the direction of the economy.
