Conscious Capitalism - Working Definition
Posted by Matthew Rochte under Concepts, Conscious Capitalism, Sustainability
I woke up from a dream this week with a clearer understanding of Conscious Capitalism. A less technical one than what has been proposed before.
It started with what capitalism has become at the end of the 20th century - Unconscious Capitalism
Unconscious Capitalism had no concern or conflict with the taking advantage of people (employers, communities, or consumers) or the planet (locally or holistically) in the name of profit or shareholder value.
Conscious Capitalism is an awakening to capitalism now being a truly symbiotic relationship where all stakeholders benefit or suffer because of the actions or inactions of one of the components.
The emergence of Conscious Capitalism has leveled the playing field.
Conscious Capitalism becomes an active practice of the “Platinum Rule.” - “Do unto others as THEY would do unto themselves”
In Conscious Capitalism we need each other for our very survival.
