Functional Capitalism

Guest: Dr. Don Beck. We welcome back Dr. Beck for a conversation about the future of business. In Dr. Beck's Spiral Dynamics parlance, we've had an unbalanced excess of individualistic, entrepreneurial energy that the more collective "memes" in our society were unable to check, leading to rampant greed and corruption. The tendency now is to swing the pendulum the other way, creating a more interventionist and collectivist ethic that may well create its own set of problems. What can business learn from the mistakes of the past few years? How can entrepreneurship respond to the needs of the whole system instead of individual acquisitiveness?
