Description
Capitalism as we know it is about money and material wealth. “Spiritual Capital,” by contrast, is wealth that we can live by, wealth that enriches the deeper aspects of our lives. It is wealth we gain through drawing upon our deepest meanings, deepest values, most fundamental purposes and highest motivations, and by finding a way to embed these in our lives and work. Spiritual Capital transforms the way we think about profit and the purpose of business. This book offers a more comprehensive notion of wealth and profit, seeing that both are about more than money. Profit is not merely for private gain but should be used, in part, for public good. Spiritual Capital is a new philosophy for corporate governance and a new motivational dynamic for shifting from capitalism as we know it to the wider perspective of spiritual capital. Spiritual Capital outlines how we can outgrow the crises of capitalism. It offers a vision and a model for organizational and cultural sustainability within a wider framework of community and global concern.
