Abstract
Alex Edmans' “Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit” provides an alternative approach to business called Pieconomics. Profits to shareholders play a critical role in Pieconomics (similar as in shareholder capitalism), but the goal of an enterprise is to maximize the social value it creates (somewhat similar as in stakeholder capitalism). This review discusses and critically evaluates this thesis.
