This final edition of 2025 offers three essays that underscore the commitments and ideals of the Caux Round Table – a quest for a moral approach to capitalism.
In our first piece by Eric Mahler, “Reclaiming the Center: Why Leaders Must Restore What Young Professionals Are Quietly Asking For,” it argues that young people want more clarity in their work. In a sense, they want to feel like their work is focused not just on profit, but also a benefit to the social good.
Next, I write about reflections on our time as one year passes and we enter another.
Lastly, Michael Hartoonian’s essay, “Social Capital: The Path to Happiness,” maps out how selflessness is core to building social capital.
As usual, I would be most interested in your thoughts and feedback.
Sincerely yours and Happy New Year!
