A new movement is afoot that promises to save the world by applying the magic of the market to the challenges of social change. But in this hard-hitting, controversial expose, Michael Edwards shows that business is ill-equipped to attack the causes of poverty, inequality, violence, and discrimination.

With a vested interest in the status quo, business can promise only limited advances: small change. It’s time to turn away from the false promise of the market and reassert the independence of global citizen action.
