Cannibals With Forks (9781841120843): John Elkington: Books. Polish poet Stanislaw Lec asked, Is it progress if a cannibal uses a fork? Elkington applies the question to twenty-first-century capitalism as he ponders whether holding corporations accountable to a triple bottom-line of economic prosperity, environmental quality, and social justice constitutes progress. Elkington cofounded SustainAbility, a London consulting firm that advises major corporations on how to be more environmentally sensitive and socially active while prospering economically. He is also the author of several books on corporate greening and green consumerism. Published last year in Britain, Elkington's book identifies the seven dimensions of--or revolutions leading to--a sustainable future. For each of the seven, he examines the blind-spots most corporate leaders have that prevent them from joining in the revolution. Focusing mostly on environmental issues and using examples from his impressive client list, Elkington invokes the mantra of sustainable development and assures us that this is progress. David Rouse
