About The Book
A new book from New York Times bestselling author Bruce Piasecki, Wealth and Climate Competitiveness explores how wealth, both private and corporate, can assist the path to climate competitiveness.
Many of the central concerns of the twenty-first century—racial inequity, white supremacy movements, greater inclusiveness of diverse peoples—are rooted in facing and overcoming prejudices, both common and hidden. Another great challenge—the role of wealth and innovation in solving the climate crisis—is also riddled with disabling prejudices about how corporations work, and about the rights and needs of consumers and world citizens.
In his twenty-first book, Wealth and Climate Competitiveness: The New Narrative on Business and Society, Bruce Piasecki argues that a set of five recurring prejudices, from 1900 to 2020, have held up real progress on climate action.
Using the examples of select firms like Trane Technologies, and oil giants like the transforming bp, Piasecki sets out to define climate competitiveness as a path to solutions that decarbonize, decentralize, and digitize our near future.
Climate competitiveness involves a responsible, steady, resolve-based focus on lessons derived from human behavior and social movements. By using Robin Hood as a narrative example, this book is designed to give you a deep understanding of the changed landscape we now face, and how you can resolve to embrace climate competitiveness to drive your personal success, and the corporate and institutional success of our world.

Raves and Reviews
From Knoke’s Bold New World in 1996 to Bogle on the Soul of Capitalism in 2005 and then to Piasecki’s own World Inc. in 2007, great books have been released on mixing the needs of the new world with capitalism. In this new book, Bruce Piasecki offers a dramatically engaging manual and a new generation manifesto for the ages. In this regard, Bruce is the current successor to Peter Drucker.
– Darryl Vernon Poole, Accountant, CEO newsletter founder, and cultural historian
What I love most about this book is Piasecki’s passionate appeal to shared feelings about our near future. As in his prior books, Piasecki challenges you to grasp a broad array of history and literature in compelling prose designed for global translation. He will challenge you to change in ways you had not considered yet. Suddenly these better selves seem both logical and justified in his life summary book.
– Ira Feldman, Attorney/Founder of Adaptation Leader
Piasecki is a master storyteller of both history and personal insight. Informative, persuasive, delightful — this is a great tale rendered in personal narrative like a Henry David Thoreau and Piasecki’s heroes Churchill and Orwell. This book is full of insights in each passage, and the complete short manifesto reads with persuasive rage.
– Ken Strassner, Former senior executive of Kimberly Clark, Board Member
The importance of narrative and storytelling comes through loud and clear in Piasecki’s new book. His sourcing is rich and wonderful on competition and social needs. Like in his prior books, we can hear the nascent tales of today becoming the truisms of tomorrow.
– Dominic Emery, Former chief of staff of bp and distinguished engineer, Bo
Piasecki’s work appeals to our better angels. He has a faith in humanity and business to get it right in time to matter. This expectation of basic goodness is a necessary but not sufficient condition in creating a more just economy and ecosystem in time to matter.
– Tim Nixon, CEO Signal Climate Analytics
