How Business Leaders Can Champion Democracy

A recent report by the Harvard Business School found that business leaders are deeply concerned about the state of democracy in America. Nearly seven in 10 surveyed HBS alumni believe that democracy is at risk and that dysfunctional politics are negatively impacting U.S. competitiveness. Majorities support political reforms like decreasing the influence of money in politics, ending gerrymandering, and implementing innovations such as ranked-choice voting. More than half agree that business’s role in politics has been problematic.
