Featured Guest: Will Patten, former Director of Retail Operations for Ben & Jerry’s and author of the forthcoming book Rescuing Capitalism: Vermont Shows a Way, will be speaking and promoting his new book.
About the Book:
Patten argues that America's environmental and social challenges stem from decades of supply-side economic policies focused solely on profit maximization — often at the expense of natural and human resources. In contrast, Vermont has long embraced a different approach. Through stories and examples, Rescuing Capitalism highlights how Vermont businesses have balanced profitability with social and environmental responsibility, offering a model for more democratic, sustainable capitalism.
