The Roosevelt Institute 347d ago

This month we were delighted to welcome author and Roosevelt Senior Fellow Lenore Palladino to discuss her new book, Good Company: Economic Policy After Shareholder Primacy at the Roosevelt Institute Book Club. Today’s corporations operate with short-term goals to deliver profits to shareholders rather than investing in innovation. But corporations wield their power thanks to public charters, with the assumption that the companies will repay their debts to society via innovations that improve our lives. In this exciting new work, Palladino imagines what a “good” company can look like today: one that delivers both economic and social benefits. In the process, she confronts myths about shareholders as investors, offers a concise introduction to the political economy of the firm, and proposes concrete policy solutions to restore the public corporation as an engine of prosperity for the many rather than the few.
