Praise for The Age of Responsibility ""Wayne Visser's The Age of Responsibility elegantly and persuasively demonstrates the limits and failures of traditional CSR and also the kinds of reforms needed to create conditions for genuine corporate responsibility. Rich with insight, information and analyses, and highly readable for its excellent writing and poignant stories, the book is a crucial contribution to understanding where we are with CSR and what we need to do to move forward.""-Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological |

Following the collapse of the Soviet Empire, the new world order did not bring about a closure of revolutionary warfare.
