Ep. 324 The Profiteers and Their Hidden Social and Environmental Costs
Since I started exploring the fascinating world of sustainability and ESG, I have taken courses and read many books. I am currently reading Christopher Marquis’s The Profiteers: How Business Privatizes Profits and Socializes Costs.
Business leaders and corporations profess their dedication to sustainability and ESG metrics, but the question is: do they do it?
Christopher Marquis is the Sinyi Professor of Chinese Management at the University of Cambridge in the UK.

In this episode, we highlight interesting points from his book:
- Corporate Gaslighting
- ESG is a toxic term
- Externalities
- The Overuse of The Commons
I highly recommend his book.
