This edX course from Babson College explores an alternative paradigm of business and economics that focuses on creating environmental, societal, and personal value along with financial gain.

Capitalism and its economic machines have brought humankind great prosperity and progress, but it also inflicts undeniable harm on our bodies, minds, spirits, and planet.

Today's capitalism is completely unsustainable. The strain on our planet's wellbeing and natural resources, as well as on human minds, is reaching a breaking point.

To move forward, humanity needs to find a new way. Enter 'conscious capitalism'.

Rajendra Sisodia, co-founder of Conscious Capitalism, Inc. and professor at Babson College, has studied alternative business models for over 15 years.

In this course, Sisodia outlines how to build enterprises with a higher purpose, which create value not only for shareholders but for employees, customers, communities, and the world.
