Hear what yous missed at the sold out Citizen outcome with author Anand Giridharadas and B Lab'south Jay Coen Gilbert

Sep. 08, 2018

Is it enough for a business organization to try to benefit? Or, should we also be demanding that businesses do no harm? At stake in the answer is the futurity of the American workforce—and, perhaps, America itself.

This is the issue bestselling author Anand Giridharadas and B Lab's co-founder Jay Coen Gilbert debated on Thursday night, at The Citizen's sold-out outcome at Curvation Street Presbyterian Church. Giridharadas, author of Winners Take All: The Aristocracy Charade of Changing the Earth regaled the crowd with stories of what he sees as capitalist hypocrisy: Big businesses that gain praise for funding kid wellness clinics, for example, while spending hundreds of millions lobbying against universal health care. His answer: Laws that change the structure of business organization in America.

Gilbert, on the other hand, is an evangelist for the triple bottom line way of doing business, every bit modelled by B Corps, companies prepare upwardly with people, planet and profits on equal footing. He, also, advocates for modify—but argues that the best way forwards is with individual businesses, local governments and consumers leading the way.
