Synopsis

Capitalism for Tomorrow is a penetrating critique of contemporary capitalism. Sykes asks what sort of capitalism we could enjoy tomorrow if the present problems and weaknesses can be addressed. Capitalism for Tomorrow is a businessman's contribution to the perenially important debate on economic and corporate governance. Allen Sykes demonstrates that passive, absentee ownership is the fundamental weakness undermining the full efficiency and accountability of Anglo-American capitalism. He provides original, practicable and integrated remedies to this and other weaknesses to the clear benefit of shareholders, managements, emplloyees and pension fund members alike.

A thoughtful contribution to the great governance debate. -Financial Times, 5th September 2000 This is a striking piece of analysis, and no corporate bigwig's Christmas stocking should be without it - no fund manager's either. -Sunday Times Book of the Week, 1st October 2000 This is a clearly written and well-argued book which deserves to be widely read and discussed. -European Business Forum, October 2000
