Symposium: Stakeholder Capitalism in Turbulent Times

It is now widely recognized that globalized shareholder capitalism, while generating substantial wealth over recent decades, has failed to distribute the benefits of such wealth equitably. The financial crisis of 2008 has brought to fore growing social and economic inequality, negative social and human costs of unregulated business practices, and short and long-term impacts of wasteful resource extraction and consumption on social and natural environment. The search is now on to identify more sustainable ways of organizing capitalism. In 2014 world business, government and civil society leaders and academics at the World Economic Forum in Davos began discussing the idea of ethical capitalism. What is ethical capitalism? A group of scholars from Europe, North America and Asia has turned to history to answer this question. In the second half of the 19th century, Shibusawa Eiichi, a major business leader and entrepreneur and widely considered the father of modern Japanese economy, expressed the view that business enterprise could and should simultaneously achieve profits and social goals through enhanced public welfare. His solutions are still relevant today. In this symposium we: 1) elaborate on the Asian and Western origins of ethical capitalism; 2) map out arguments for corporate responsibilities and changing corporate practices; and 3) debate the relation between ethics and economy for sustainable global economies and societies.
