    Topic for this Conversation
    We need to rethink our dominant story of capitalism for the 21st Century. We need a narrative about business that we can enact that makes the world a better place. In short we need a story about business that is fit for human beings. We will explore the principles behind this new narrative that is in fact emerging all over the world.
