Davis (president, Davis Global Advisers Inc., an adviser on international corporate governance), Lukomnik (managing partner, Sinclair Capital LLC), and Pitt-Watson (former chief executive, Hermes Focus Asset Management, "Europe's leading shareholder activist fund manager) argue that within corporate capitalism a new civil economy is arising in which vast numbers of ordinary pensioners, mutual fund investors, and small shareholders are quickly becoming the true owners of major corporations. In this new environment, investment funds are acting in the interests of their grassroots savers, compelling corporate boards and executives to behave with more financial accountability and social responsibility. In this book, they offer guidance to corporate officers, investment managers, and investors on how to navigate this emerging civil economy.
