In this ground-breaking book, Asesh Sarkar presents a visionary solution for the widening rift between everyday people and shareholders within contemporary capitalist systems and societies.Sarkar compellingly argues that this gap – where economic growth is realised primarily through corporate profits and favours shareholders over the general population – is fuelling impoverishment and risking the potential for mass social unrest. Here he introduces an innovative approach that business leaders can leverage to make capitalism work for all. Enter the Customer Co-ownership Economy – a revolutionary model where companies align capitalism with wealth distribution by allocating shares to customers, transforming them into vested 'co-owners' with a stake in the company’s success.Drawing on robust economic reasoning, supported by academic research and insights, Sarkar champions this ownership structure as a win-win scenario. Businesses will enjoy heightened loyalty, goodwill and share of wallet, invaluable market insights to improve R&D, plus an engaged investor base that’s vital to growth and success. Customers will gain wealth through share ownership, regular dividends, financial literacy and a voice in corporate decisions.Through vivid anecdotes and clear modelling, Sarkar artfully illustrates the transformative potential of the Co-owned concept, demonstrating its compelling commercial benefits for businesses, substantial wealth generation for households, and a profoundly positive impact on society.Powerful in its simplicity and logic, by making a persuasive case for his 'capitalist cure' to recalibrate business and society, Sarkar provides an optimistic path for concerned business leaders and policymakers grappling with capitalism's flaws, promising a more equitable and prosperous future for all.

Mothers and babies suffering, staff at breaking point, huge disparities in standards of care – we’ve all seen the headlines about the crisis in NHS maternity care, but it seems they just keep coming.Have you ever thought there’s more to it all than meets the eye?For more than two decades, the NHS maternity service has been the focus of repeated scandals. Time and time again, independent investigations have exposed failures, made recommendations and promised change. Yet things don’t improve.In this powerful, revealing account, Lorin Lakasing draws on her 30-year experience of clinical practice in maternity to give an insider’s view of the current worrying situation and its development. She reveals the reasons why major stakeholders in this vital service have inadvertently been encouraged to pursue different agendas, and how that has made effective, collaborative working towards optimal clinical outcomes almost impossible.A safe and effective NHS maternity service is in everyone’s best interests.

**Business Book Awards 2026 - FINALIST**For the first time in history, eight generations are alive at the same time and four of them are working side by side in today’s workplace. Whether in our everyday lives or at work, we’re all interacting across multiple generations, and yet bridging the age gap has never been more challenging.Generational labels, often based on lazy, surface-level stereotypes, can reinforce division and miscommunication: Baby Boomers are out of touch, Millennials are entitled, and Gen Zs are so chronically online they can't talk face to face. But these assumptions don’t always reflect reality. If we look beyond the stereotypes and headlines and start with understanding instead of judgement, we can get past this disconnect, communicate more effectively, and appreciate the strengths each generation brings to our workplaces, communities and everyday lives.In this fascinating and much-needed book, Alastair Greener helps the reader get to know each of the generations, providing relevant cultural touchpoints, astute observations, and a sense of what makes them tick. He then uses these insights, coupled with his own original research, to make sense of how the generations communicate and suggests how best to navigate having multiple generations in the workforce and in our wider society.Living in a multigenerational world should be seen an asset, not an obstacle, as it means that different perspectives can be brought to the table. Everybody has something to offer as well as something to learn, so let's break down the generational silos and start building bridges.£1 from the sale of each physical book will be donated to children’s charities through the Generationally Speaking Foundation.

The world is breaking. Fearful organisations grip more tightly, demanding performance at the expense of humanity, and that seeps into our coaching. We become more risk-averse and the people we work with become more guarded.In its pursuit of professional credibility, coaching has built frameworks, competencies and measurable outcomes. But in doing so, it risks losing the essence that makes it come alive: love.This book is a call to bring love back.Writing as a fellow traveller, Clare Norman argues that love surrounds effective coaching. Yet naming it feels revolutionary because it places our hearts at the centre of professional practice and challenges systems that reduce people to productivity. In an age of AI, love may be what makes human coaching irreplaceable.For coaches, this means:recognising and undoing the conditioning that taught you to leave love at the door of your practicetrusting the intelligence of your heart as a catalyst for changecoaching as a whole human beingDrawing on neuroscience, spirituality and decades of practice, Clare beckons you into the inner work that leads you back to what you already know but may have forgotten how to access. Coaching from love reconnects us with the reason many of us became coaches in the first place.Where fear creates distance and division, coaching from love is the antidote – one coach, one thinker and one loving conversation at a time.
