In the Info Graphic series on Business Presentations is Capitalism being explained. The different historical stages of Capitalism might indicate where modern Capitalism is heading to.
This document discusses the relationship between capitalism and ethics. It argues that while capitalism focuses on profit maximization, ethics encourages consideration of broader stakeholders. It analyzes examples like Enron and the financial crisis where short-term individual gains led to long-term societal losses due to a lack of ethical decision making. The document concludes that for capitalism to be sustainable, ethics must be incorporated as a key component of business and society. Without ethics, actors may realize short-term monetary gains but jeopardize the overall goals of capitalism in the long run. Ethics emerges as a necessity, not a choice, for a well-functioning capitalist system.
Capitalism is an economic system defined by private ownership of production assets and the operation of markets. It has key features like the existence of companies, a profit motive, competition between producers, freedom of enterprise, private property rights, economic inequalities, and the sovereignty of consumers. Supporters argue it is morally justified based on natural property rights and its economic benefits like efficiency. However, critics argue it leads to problems like inequality, concentration of wealth, and the formation of monopolies and oligopolies that undermine competition.

Entering the Human Age: Insights by Jeffrey A. Joerres, ManpowerGroup Chairma...Andrea Hubbert
The document discusses how the world is entering a new era called the "Human Age" where optimizing human potential will be the single most important factor for business success. Three key points:
1) We are entering an era defined by human potential rather than previous eras defined by raw materials or technologies. Unleashing human spirit and innovation will drive economic growth.
2) Talent, not capital, will be the dominant resource as skilled individuals can work anywhere and companies compete for top talent. Access to the right talent with the right skills will determine business success.
3) Technology has liberated human potential by enabling remote work and virtual teams, but also creates a talent shortage as skills become quickly outdated.
