Social Business
for New Forms of Collaboration
Thinking ahead, venturing into new territories
The cold steel mechanisms of turbo-capitalism have caused enormous knock on costs in all areas of life. The social sector in particular suffers from rigorous budgeting cuts. But instead of pursuing an innovative and sustainable policy, we cling to our obsolete social model that – due to having the wrong objectives and faulty structures – unnecessarily wastes money and worsens the situation of the sick, the old and the helpless. Franz-Theo Gottwald and Karl Peter Sprinkart oppose »social dinosaurs« and show ways of creating a new, liveable society with a sensible social business structure, in which every single one of us is needed, challenged and appreciated. This book is brimful of prospects for a better future.
Prof. Franz-Theo Gottwald, born in Wiesba-den, Germany, in 1955, is Honorary Professor for Environmental, Agricultural and Food Ethics at the Humboldt University in Berlin and teaches political ecology at the University for Political Sciences in Munich. He has been working as a freelance corporate consultant since 1984, and has been the head of the Schweisfurth Foundation for Sustainable Development since 1988.
