A new book titled 'From Founder to Future: A Business Road Map to Impact, Longevity, and Employee Ownership' emphasizes the need for a shift in social justice approaches. John Abrams highlights the ineffectiveness of both major political parties in supporting working people over the past 50 years, suggesting a fundamental change is necessary. His reflections on the Great Recession illustrate how collaboration and resilience can lead to survival and growth during challenging times, showcasing that shared struggles can unite individuals toward common goals.
I see this book as an antidote to the cruelty-rather-than-kindness mentality. I feel like our society has been bedeviled with that kind of thinking at different times, but better hearts and minds have always prevailed.
For the last 50 years, the Democrats have not done much for working people and the Republicans have not done much for working people, and we need something fundamentally different.
I call 2008 the second-best thing that ever happened to South Mountain Company. It was that new level of collaboration when we were all fighting for something together.
If this book can play some little role in that new building project, then it will have accomplished what I have set out to do.
