Mitchell Rabin Speaks on Conscious, Compassionate Capitalism, The Lotus Emerges

This evening, Mitchell Rabin takes a look at the positive trends showing up in the world of business through Social Enterprise companies, B Corporations through the increase of humane and eco-friendly business practices, Compassionate and Conscious Capitalism.  Despite appearances, there is a significant upsurge in the number of companies which are purpose-driven beyond a single, monetary bottom line and are defining their mission as being of service in numerous, creative ways to serve humanity and Mother Earth.   Due to the fact that government is no longer a reliable partner in improving the lives of its people in any kind of a principled way, all the greater reliance is placed on the private sector to express ethical, eco-sensitive and humane values and policies to drive the creation of a better world for all. From the muddy swamp, a beautiful lotus flower has emerged. The values of the spiritual life in business is becoming more pronounced. Last week, A Better World aired Mitchell’s interview with Patricia Aburdene, author of Conscious Capitalism and co-author of the Megatrends series (last being Megatrends 2010), which is one of a series Mitchell has done on this vitally important subject.
