    Even leading capitalists admit that capitalism is broken. Green Swans is a manifesto for system change designed to serve people, planet, and prosperity. In his twentieth book, John Elkington—dubbed the "Godfather of Sustainability"—explores new forms of capitalism fit for the twenty-first century.If Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "Black Swans" are problems that take us exponentially toward breakdown, then "Green Swans" are solutions that take us exponentially toward breakthrough. The success—and survival—of humanity now depends on how we rein in the first and accelerate the second.Green Swans draws on Elkington's first-hand experience in some of the world's best-known boardrooms and C-suites. Using case studies, real-world examples, and profiles on emergent technologies, Elkington shows how the weirdest "Ugly Ducklings" of today's world may turn into tomorrow's world-saving Green Swans.This book is a must-listen for business leaders in corporations great and small who want to help their businesses survive the coming shift in global priorities over the next decade and expand their horizons from responsibility, through resilience, and onto regeneration.

    Alexander Green has spent 16 years working on Wall Street and has  continued his career as a very successful investment professional.  Along the way, however, he has adopted a unique philosophy that he  has taught others about his spiritual approach to financial  planning. Here, he walks readers through choices they can make to  lead a more satisfying professional and personal life, accumulating  wealth if they choose to, but also making choices that are not  solely determined by financial aspirations. As he has said, "You  can't put a price on freedom, especially personal freedom. It may  mean you have to change your lifestyle, buy a smaller house or one  car, instead of two." In thinking about work, Green's philosophy is  that people can experiment and take risks, and ask themselves  if they are enjoying their work or putting themselves out to the  highest bidder.
