要約: 新興国経済が拡大する中、世界における所得構成が大きく変化している。例えば、現在の先進国は全世界における所得の77%を占有しているが、2050年にはこれが32%程度に縮小し、中国、インド、ブラジルなど新興国がとって代わる存在となる。それに伴い筆者は資本主義の性質も変化し、競争よりも革新を、個人や企業よりも集団や生態系を、権力や富の集中よりも持続可能な社会システムを重視するようになる、と主張している。
This book highlights the fact that the centre of gravity of capitalism is shifting from the developed economies to the emerging economies, such as Brazil, India and China. The key reasons are:
The above arguments by the author prove that the capitalism will significantly shift from the developed economies to the emerging economies. In such a scenario, the author suggests that these emerging economies will adopt ‘new strategy’ of capitalism, which is explained below.
The author argues the fact that the emerging economies will favour real growth over financial wealth creation, which will be supported by real innovation through collaborative efforts. The organizations will have to take responsibility for both positive and negative impacts to the business and social environment. This will require for-profit and not-for-profit entities to function together. The need for ‘social’ action will be the strongest in emerging economies, due to high proportion of population struggling for decent subsistence.
An amalgamation of economic power and social concern will characterize the next era of capitalism, and no single set of capitalist rules will fit every society.
Overall, this book is a good reference guide for leaders who are involved in implementing the strategies and tactics in the changing economic scenario of capitalism. The author suggests the way forward by explaining the fact that the world economy is going to be less about competition, more about innovation; less about individual people or companies, more about groups and ecologies; and less about concentration of power and wealth, and more about sustainable social systems.
