It reveals how society pays the price for corporate "free lunches," environmental damage, low wages, and cheap goods—in an era where business leaders officially declare their commitment to environmental and social justice principles.

Christopher Markey conducts a gripping investigation into the true costs of doing business, exposing the mind-bending manipulation employed by corporate world leaders to evade responsibility by hoarding profits and shifting the burden of costs onto society.

"Who pays the price?" for the resulting climate, environmental, racial, low wage, and cheap goods damage: the average citizen and taxpayer.

What benefit does this book offer to corporate leaders? It presents a reform model that provides clear guidance on how to assume a leading position in the emerging economic order. No business can offer effective leadership if it adheres to morally backward practices. History has repeatedly demonstrated that those who lead the way in the changing social and environmental landscape protect themselves from inevitable extinction.
