Dear Colleagues,
we published a book last month titled "Public Goods, Sustainable Development and Role of Business". In view of the covid-19 crisis and the discussions about "Building back Better" or conversely "Building Better Futures", we thought that you might be interested to know about this new source book. It provides an expansive review of the public goods theme and highlights the inherent linkage between sustainable development and corporate responsibility for improving the current and future welfare of communities at home and abroad. The authors' main proposition is that sustainable development is focused on preserving and maintaining public goods. Consequently, whoever uses public goods is liable for their preservation, their maintenance and, where they are underdeveloped, for their expansion. The successful delivery, now and in the future, depends on a positive relationship of the public sector with the private sector. We hope that this book stimulates discussions of scholars and policy makers in the field of sustainable development with business leaders.It is further hoped that the book closes the gap between the public and the private sectors by building a common understanding and common methodologies for implementing and measuring sustainable development in the macro- and the micro-sphere. More information about the book and authors is in the attachment
collegially yours, Raymond Saner
