Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Values and Stakeholders in an Era of Social Responsibility
P. D'Anselmi · 2011
64/100
👍 Worth It
The core argument — that CSR accountability should extend to governments and monopolies, not just corporations, and that competition is the real social performance mechanism — is a genuinely contrarian framing that earns a read in specialist circles. Independent critical reviews are nearly absent, and the pro-market orientation will feel too narrow for readers skeptical of market solutions. For business academics and policymakers willing to engage that premise, it is concise and substantive.
