Abstract
In answer to some of the problems we are experiencing in American society, as described, this chapter explains the principles of sustainability and describes a possible solution as a model of a sustainable firm. I will compare and contrast the earlier model of the American firm with this more desirable model. Although many potential sustainable future scenarios likely exist for the future of firms, I offer a possibility here, once again illustrating the building block model. I hope that others will either improve and build on mine or arrive at something much better.
