The excellent review of 2009, ‘Capitalism in Question’ breaks one of the stronger taboos or our time: daring to debate the place of business in society.
The question for coming years is whether breaking this taboo will become a secret, guilty pleasure for a few, privileged CSR practioners – or a serious debate amongst policy-makers. There is not yet much sign of the latter.
Moving up the agenda fast, perhaps? Are talks on currency with HSBC, Instute of CA etc. part of it? And Mark Collins Director of Commonwealth Foundation in http://bit.ly/bNp6UQ The Road to Recovery: Mapping a Sustainable Economy seems to hint at such possibilities? Or am I wrong?
