With thanks to @DLeonhardt for this piece in the @nytimes.America truly is the hero of my personal story. Corporate America must act to make sure that future success stories are possible. nyti.ms/3yYZDNP
Only corporate America can reverse the hollowing out of the middle class that now threatens our political and social stability. In my latest column for Forbes, I explain why I believe multi-stakeholder capitalism is our best hope for a better future. bit.ly/3ZLh1U0
I remain optimistic about the future of America, a thought I shared with @DavidWestin on Bloomberg's Wall Street Week. With many thanks for the interview. youtube.com/watch?v=qi7WjMJh…
PG&E is emerging from its recent troubles under the leadership of Patti Poppe. In my latest column for @Forbes, I discuss how she unwittingly became a standard bearer for stakeholder capitalist leaders. forbes.com/sites/petergeorge…
Too many people misunderstand the basic principles of stakeholder #capitalism, suggesting it focuses on society issues like climate change and DEI efforts at the expense of profits. In my latest column for @Forbes, I debunk those myths. bit.ly/3RE3k3J
Sad news in recent poll from @AP -- Americans say household expenses exceed earnings in 2023. Another slap at America's #Middleclass. bit.ly/46nuC3B
A new study from @Deloitte shows that 84% of leaders plan to focus employee #wellness , but reports that 6 disconnects are standing in the way. This is where corporate America must focus -- on the #workers that have made our country strong. bit.ly/47GwpSi
The compensation #crisis in America is rife -- with #workers pushing for fair compensation. Meantime, the Fed remains concerned about wages outpacing inflation. I take a deep dive into how we got here in my latest column for @forbes forbes.com/sites/justcapital…
Wise words from @FrancesFrei in a piece for @HarvardBiz . "If your operations depend on people continuously going above and beyond, then be prepared to work much harder to find these magical creatures and reward them with outsize compensation." bit.ly/474VVRE
I have spent the past 20 years fighting #incomeinequality and pushing for a better form of #capitalism. So happy to see a robust offering of forthcoming books on the subject which the @nytimes says economists have "all but ignored." Let's not ignore. bit.ly/3u9iBRS
.@PaulTudorJones1, director of @JustCapital, issued a wake up on call on @SquawkCNBC recently, warning that Americas may be headed for the biggest fiscal crisis since WWII. I wholeheartedly agree. We need a better version of #capitalism.

An "excellent, accessible overview of socioeconomic trends over the last decades and what they bode for the future" says @KirkusReviews of @DLeonhardt's new book, Ours Was The Shining Future. A must read for anyone concerned about our country's future. bit.ly/40eSDZd
An illuminating chart and analysis from @nytimes on income inequality and education. Don't miss it. bit.ly/46H58PM
A piece in the @nytimes suggests that companies may be underestimating the leverage of #workers, as labor disputes continue to make daily headlines. Workers should be paid for the value they create and they are clearly tired of waiting. bit.ly/3SjjkKD
American public #education is nothing short of disastrous, except in rich neighborhoods where real estate taxes are higher. A piece in the @nytimes on how the U.S. Department of Defense ran schools during the #pandemic may be part of the solution. bit.ly/3PNz4SZ
A recent @WSJ recent study suggests that America's faith in values is dwindling. I take a closer look at the figures in my recent column for @forbes forbes.com/sites/justcapital…
A depressing statistic in a new report from @uscensusbureau @RutgersU and @Princeton. 25% of Black babies and toddlers in rental homes are likely to face eviction and all American children are at risk. The @nytimes reports. bit.ly/3ttuj9y
Companies must optimize their relationship with each #stakeholder. That means finding the right balance between the interest of the stakeholder and that of the company. Good judgement must come into play. @WSJ explores the issue in a special section. bit.ly/3tiJQt7
The #GovernmentShutdown has been averted, but trouble is still afoot, particularly for America's middle class. @YahooFinance points to the possibility of missed #paychecks and more #layoffs. bit.ly/46zUn10
"The median American household needed 44% of its income to cover annual payments on a median-priced home as of July," says the Atlanta Fed. @WSJ has a series of charts eye-opening chart that lay bare the reality of higher interest rates. bit.ly/3PuGzhu
A new @McKinsey study shows that over 50% of U.S. #Workers say they are underproductive, costing a midsize Fortune 500 company between $228 and $355 million a year. The number ONE reason for cited for worker #disengagement? Inadequate compensation. bit.ly/3sVvgY1
