The annual 'global' brand conference has put sustainability into it's theme for 2013.
How will delegates treat this issue?
Will sustainability be a scientific concept to treat with objectivity and technique for the purpose of publishing in an academically prestigious journal to further career prospects?
Or will each one who responds to the call for contributions do something to move us towards a sustainable society?

Are capitalists the enemy?
If so, why, and which of them, and for whom, as there are surely magnificent benefits and developments from pursuing profit as a reward? Gain at any cost isn't a gain.
For those who stick to the view that capitalism is the only way, what exactly do they do in the name of capitalism? Evidently some of it produces bads as well as and instead of goods, and the benefits are not always justly distributed.
