內容簡介
Humanity Wins is a thoughtful and affirming examination of howwe can adapt systematically, as individuals and as a society, tothe staggering changes occurring in the world around us.As global change accelerates, our political and social systemsare barely keeping pace. Venerated institutions at every level,from the family to national governments, are struggling to operateunder rules designed for a world that no longer exists.Reinhard Mohn, the innovative entrepreneur who built Bertelsmann,Inc., into the fourth largest media company in the world, arguesthat the new world we are creating demands new rules, newstrategies, and new systems. Just as business has undergone aradical transformation in the last twenty years, moving fromcentralized corporate hierarchies to decentralized dynamicorganizations, so must society. Mohn shows how social institutionscan adapt the best of what business leaders have learned -- andavoid repeating their mistakes.Ultimately, Mohn, an elder statesman of the global economy, makesa moving case for a new, ethics-based, dynamic world order andprovides concrete models for putting his ideas to work. We canadapt to the changes we have wrought, Mohn writes. This is howhumanity will win.
