Launching Book Club: The Board Perspective in Today's Changing Political Economy

NEW YORK - Sept. 8, 2026 - PRLog -- What do publicly listed corporations owe to the public? What is within an individual board member's power in fulfilling those demands? What are the limitations?

By conceptualizing the board as the nexus that mediates demands from actors (eg. investors, governments, management, and the workforce) and forces (eg. technology, and climate change) — this series asks broader questions about the role of corporations in society today.

Whether you believe in corporations as an entity that is purely for-profit or one that is responsible for a positive social impact, these books will offer a more nuanced understanding of best practices in good governance.

The series includes a careful curation of three books, selected for their balance of analytical rigor and storytelling. They make an enjoyable read for beginners in corporate governance. The series builds on the success on Unbuilt Labs' work on board leadership, and in particular, our Certificate Board Leadership Program on Quantum and AI which is well reviewed by private and corporate directors.

These books can be read as standalone texts. You are welcome to join just one or any number of the sessions.
