Michael O'Leary

    Michael O’Leary is een dichter, romanschrijver, uitgever en boekhandelaar wiens werken vaak zijn Māori (Te Arawa) en Iers-katholieke erfgoed verkennen. Terwijl zijn poëzie dit erfgoed conventioneeler onderzoekt, neemt zijn proza een alternatievere route. Via zijn Earl of Seacliff Art Workshop imprint heeft hij niet alleen zijn eigen productieve output gepubliceerd, maar ook de werken van vele andere schrijvers. Zijn schrijven, dat poëziecollecties en verschillende romans omvat, wordt gewaardeerd om zijn unieke perspectief en exploratie van culturele identiteit.

      Capitalism is failing and the tools we are relying on to fix it -- corporate social responsibility, divestment, impact investing, and government control -- are only making things worse. In Accountable, authors Michael O'Leary and Warren Valdmanis offer a blueprint for everyone to take responsibility for using their economic power as consumers, as investors, as employees, and as voters to trigger a fundamental shift away from an economy that is unethical, unfair, and destructive to our environment and institutions. Their investigation cuts through the tired dogma of current economic thinking to reveal a hopeful truth -- if we can make our corporations accountable to a deeper purpose, we can make capitalism both prosperous and good. Trenchant and gripping, this is an indispensable guide and call to action for citizens to take control of our economic power and hold corporations to a higher standard
