With a revitalized US release, thousands more have shown a vested interest in the future of capitalism and how it can be used both to do well and do good, as the title hits both the Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller lists.

Cohen is co-founder and Executive Chairman of the private equity firm Apax Partners and considered a fierce advocate for the future of capitalism.
In IMPACT, Cohen writes that "capitalism has served us well over the last 250 years, but it has become untenable in its present form. It needs radical change. The Tech Revolution is being followed by the Impact Revolution, which springs from the simple idea that we can overturn capitalism's single-minded focus on profit to deliver profit and social impact simultaneously, redirecting vast flows of money to improve the world."
"Capitalism isn't immoral, it's amoral - it's a wild beast that needs to be led. Here Sir Ronnie provides the core operating manual for those seeking to do good while also doing well," says Bono, the lead singer of U2 and co-founder of THE RISE FUND.
