“Further–and crucially–by wealth creation, I refer not merely to “triple bottom lines” or other near-term measures championed by sustainability advocates. Economically questionable, they’re often half-measures of flows, not stocks, and more crucially, they’re often measures of inflows, flows into the firm, not outward to the Common Wealth. So, for example, by the creation of intellectual capital, I don’t merely mean that the firm itself books more patents and trademarks of its own, but that its customers are demonstrably smarter. By the creation of social capital, I don’t mean that a firm enjoys more trust with constituencies, but that constituencies are able to form closer, more coherent relationships. Creating wealth means igniting it in your constituencies, bringing forth their potential to live meaningfully better.”
