As <\/span><b>Obama<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> said, every act of creation begins with an act of destruction. Today is the time to rewrite the social contract&#8221;, explains Alec Ross, who in the book weaves together <\/span><b>interviews<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the world&#8217;s most influential thinkers and fascinating <\/span><b>stories<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of <\/span><b>corporate activism<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and malfeasance, governmental failures, and renewals, and innovative economic and political models from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beginning with the <\/span><b>Industrial Revolution<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, businesses developed the ability to shape our daily lives both for the good and the bad. As a counterbalance, the state had the power to control their influence and the citizens to choose their leaders. This arrangement has been preserved for one hundred and fifty years. Today we find ourselves in a new wave of <\/span><b>globalization<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and this balance is teetering dangerously. While the market is being monopolized by few companies, which are becoming more and more gigantic, in the US the line between Walmart and the halls of Congress has become thin. \u201cIt\u2019s a phenomenon that concerns all countries in the world, Italy too\u201d,<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">says Alec Ross \u201cWhat we need is an <\/span><b>Italian model for growth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and governance that reflects the values and priorities of its citizens. We need to revise our social contract to <\/span><b>preserve<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> what is sacred and <\/span><b>defines Italy culturally<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while also allowing us to grow in a world where the multinationals of the United States and China increasingly define the world\u2019s political and economic architecture. To do this, we need a <\/span><b>new wave of Italian entrepreneurs<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, young men, and young women, the kinds that we are educating to help lead in this new world at BBS.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A commitment that sees <\/span><b>learning<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as one of the most important tools because, Alec Ross concludes: \u201cWhen we go to work it is increasingly the case that either you tell a machine what to do or a machine tells you what to do. Education, the level of training, are the factors that determine which side of that equation you are on. Education needs to become <\/span><b>increasingly interdisciplinary<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as we practice it at BBS, and it needs to be lifelong. It is no longer good enough to conclude learning, formal and informal, at the age of 23\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alec Ross, Distinguished Adjunct Professor
