New publication: Economy with Values - The new book by Prof. Dr. Markus Scholz

Today sees the publication of Prof. Dr. Markus Scholz's new book entitled ‘Wirtschaft mit Werten’ (Economy with Values) by Droemer Knaur Verlag.

In his book, he explores the question of whether the pursuit of profit and social responsibility are compatible and uses numerous practical examples from Germany and abroad to demonstrate that many companies increasingly need to take a stance on issues of democratic stability, social justice and environmental sustainability.

He warns of a time when the basic social consensus is crumbling and argues that companies should no longer pursue profit goals alone, but calls on them to actively contribute to the protection of liberal democratic values.

Based on findings from his research and direct conversations with entrepreneurs, managers, students and politicians, Markus Scholz's book is aimed at managers, entrepreneurs, students and anyone else who, in an increasingly polarised world, wonders what responsibility they have for an open society and how they can fulfil it.

The book and an excerpt can be found at this link: droemer-knaur.de

Currently it is only available in German.

An interview with Prof. Dr. Markus Scholz about "Wirtschaft mit Werten" will be published in ‘Der Spiegel’ on 7 November.
