In the latest story for Moonshot, I spotlight the participatory budgeting trend, charting its rise across the world in cities like Paris and San Francisco, and its potential to help address big challenges. Thanks to @allegretto70 for lending his expertise! open.substack.com/pub/moonshotma…

A year ago today, the @BizRoundtable, which is made up of CEOs of top US companies, made a pledge last year to shift from shareholder capitalism to “stakeholder” capitalism. It was seen as a monumental step, with 181 companies pledging to redefine the purpose of the corporation.
