Offering forward-thinking wisdom on how to evolve past destructive modern practices in business, The Ethical Imperative: Leading with Conscience to Shape the Future of Business by Andrew C.M. Cooper is an original and thought-provoking model for the synthesis of corporate growth and true sustainability. Digging into the dark and abstract costs of contemporary labor and late-stage capitalism, this book is both a nuanced critique and a scathing revelation, linking disparate concepts in politics, philosophy, psychology, history, and corporate tradition to make a resounding point about the loss of professional ethics that drive the current economic system, while providing actionable ways forward that veer away from wishful thinking, given Cooper’s authority on the topic. With the overall intention of cultivating a new generation of conscientious executives to eschew the profit-now approach in favor of a viable long-term model, Cooper articulates a convincing and rousing argument to radically reframe contemporary business.
