Reviews for The New Capitalist Manifesto: Building a Disruptively Better Business
"Umair Haque's The New Capitalist Manifesto is worth reading; primarily, because in it, he undertakes an exploration of a new (and in many people's minds, a badly needed) form of capitalism...his book presents his ideas with panache."
