"In this new world, you and I make it up as we go along, not because we lack expertise or planning skills, but because that is the nature of reality. Reality changes shape and meaning because of our activity. And it is constantly new. We are required to be there, as active participants. It can’t happen without us and nobody can do it for us." --Margaret Wheatley
The Business of Changing the World

Within and without, there is a growing appreciation of the effects of corporate activity on the planet and its people, a dawning recognition that we are one humanity inhabiting one world. Can the capitalist engines of globalization become a positive force for global unity? This article goes into the minds and offices of change-makers who are unleashing the creativity of capitalism to serve the planet and its people.
