Today on the podcast, Michael welcomes Alison Taylor, Executive Director of Ethical Systems, a research collaboration housed at NY University’s Stern School of Business. Alison talks about companies making claims to be responsible citizens while committing abuses of corporate power, such as the pervasive non-accounting for negative externalities, creative tax avoidance, systemic racism and gender inequality, and regulatory capture. We discuss how COVID and Black Lives Matter have forced a reckoning between espoused corporate values and values in action.
