Leading economist and Financial Times columnist John Kay discusses his concept of a Good Company and why markets need to be socially embedded with Social Europe Editor-in-Chief Henning Meyer. This podcast was produced in cooperation with the Bertelsmann Foundation. A full transcript of the conversation is available here: http://www.socialeurope.eu/2015/08/what-is-the-good-company/]]> Fri, 07 Aug 2015 13:50:00 +0200 Host: Henning Meyer, Editor-in-Chief of Social Europe  
Guest: John Kay, Economist and Financial Times Columnist  


Episode Summary:
In this episode of the Social Europe podcast, host Henning Meyer sits down with John Kay, a leading economist and Financial Times columnist, to discuss the evolving concept of "the good company" and the challenges facing economic thinking in European Center-left parties. The conversation dives deep into the weaknesses of current economic models, the importance of social institutions in market economies, and the need for a revised critique of market economies that acknowledges the complexities of modern corporations.

Key Topics Discussed:

1. The Disarray in Center-Left Economic Thinking:
John Kay explores how the collapse of socialism has left Center-left parties in Europe without a clear economic strategy, leading to fragmented politics both on the Left and Right.

2. The Role of Social Institutions in Market Economies:
Markets function effectively when embedded within strong social institutions. Kay argues against the "American business model" that prioritizes individualism and minimal regulation, advocating instead for a more collective approach.

3. Rethinking the Corporation:
The discussion covers the limitations of viewing corporations solely through the lenses of individualism or shareholder value maximization. Kay emphasizes the importance of corporations being embedded in their communities and balancing the interests of all stakeholders.

4. Stakeholder Theory and the German Model:
Kay shares his views on stakeholder capitalism, contrasting the German model of co-determination with other approaches. He supports the idea of companies being run by professional managers with a broad understanding of their social roles.

5. The Good Company Concept:
A "good company" is one that balances producing goods and services, providing fulfilling work environments, existing in harmony with its community, and delivering returns to stakeholders. Kay uses the metaphor of steering a boat in turbulent waters to describe the role of a modern corporate manager.

6. The Broken Social Contract:
Kay critiques how some corporations, especially in the financial sector, have broken the implicit social contract with society, prioritizing short-term profits over long-term community engagement.

7. Cultural Change Over Legislation:
The conversation concludes with a discussion on the need for cultural change within corporations rather than relying solely on new laws or regulations. Kay stresses that rhetoric often runs ahead of reality and that changing the public discourse is crucial for reshaping the corporate landscape.

Notable Quotes:

"Markets function because they're embedded in social institutions."

"A good company understands the multiplicities of its social role."

"Pursuing a goal directly is not necessarily the most effective means of achieving it."
