I am now writing about these ideas in the context of social responsibility on my own Fast Company blog.

Financial Times columnist Adam Jones asks if CSR will wither and die in light of the current crisis on Wall Street. Read his blog column here.

It's the perfect "legit" excuse to take a pencil through CSR initiatives in the budget and label them as 'unnecessary spending" in this time of uncertaintly and belt-tightening.
