Reinventing capitalism for the long-term is a far from easy task. There is a growing acceptance among business leaders of the need to broaden the pursuit of shareholder value to one that is based on inclusivity, sustainability and purpose. This newspaper has welcomed the direction. Some attempts to confront the problem, however, have been only skin deep. Adding the label “purpose” on to existing corporate models will not be enough. Companies and policymakers should not be afraid to explore whether the change should start at the foundations of the business world, and whether new corporate structures are needed to take capitalism in this new direction.
從長遠考慮來重塑資本主義絕非易事。越來越多的企業領導者認識到，有必要從追求股東價值擴展到基於包容性、可持續性和目的的追求。英國《金融時報》對此表示歡迎。但是，解決該問題的一些嘗試只是膚淺的。在現有的公司模式上加上「目的」標籤是不夠的。企業和政策制定者不應該害怕探索這種變化是否應該從商業世界的基礎開始，以及是否需要新的企業架構來推動資本主義朝這個新的方向發展。
