“Any woman who wishes to be an intellectual, to write non-fiction, to deal with theory, faces a lot of discrimination coming her way and perhaps even self-doubt because there aren't that many who've gone before you. And I think that the most powerful tool we can have is to be clear about our intent. To know what it is we want to do rather than going into institutions thinking that the institution is going to frame for us.” ThinkingKnowsWayWantWritingSelfFacesWishDealsPowerfulFictionGoneClearDoubtTheoryIntellectualToolsInstitutionsDiscriminationMost PowerfulNon FictionSelf-doubt Author:Bell Hooks

“Since the election [of Donald Trump], I've been thinking about a lot of theory. Lots of [Michel] Foucault and [Karl] Marx, thinking about different systems, thinking about power.

“My primary early interest was in marketing and my aim was to improve its theories, methods and tools. Early on I pressed companies to adopt a consumer orientation and to be in the value creation business. I didn't pay much attention to the social responsibilities of business until later. Now I am pressing companies to address the triple bottom line: people, the planet, and profits. I found that companies were too much into short term profit maximization and they needed to invest more in sustainability thinking.” PeopleThinkingValuesFoundSocialTermInterestLinesPayAttentionResponsibilityCompanyToo MuchCreationPlanetsTheoryNeededToolsAimMethodBottomMarketingProfitPrimariesConsumersAddressesSustainabilitySocial ResponsibilityBottom LineShort TermOrientationProfit Maximization Author:Philip Kotler
