Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Profits and Sustainability
Geoffrey Jones · 2017
79/100
👍 Worth It
A serious, globally scoped business history from a Harvard professor that traces how environmental entrepreneurship evolved across industries and continents — grounded in real archival research and peer-reviewed. The broad coverage means some individual cases get less depth than you might want, but the overall contribution is genuine and readable for any adult interested in where green business came from. Faith-friendly, well-documented, and worth the investment for the right reader.
