Review
Ray C. Anderson chairman and CEO of Interface, Inc. Since Rachel Carson's Silent Spring began to expose the abuses of the modern industrial system, there has been a growing awareness that profit at the expense of Earth -- of individuals, society, and the environment -- is unsustainable.

Joel Bakan has performed a valuable service to corporations everywhere by holding up a mirror for them to see their destructive selves as others see them.

The clarion call for change is here for all who would listen.--This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
