The Third Pillar: How Social Science Informs Political and Business StrategyPower, profit, and people-three forces that shape our world, yet rarely move in harmony.

The Third Pillar is a bold and illuminating exploration of how social science bridges the gap between politics and business, offering a deeper understanding of the human dynamics that drive strategy, influence, and change. This book reveals how culture, identity, relationships, and values shape decisions at the highest levels-and why ignoring these forces is no longer an option.

Across its chapters, you'll uncover how cultural norms impact policy and corporate behavior, how social networks and group dynamics influence outcomes, and how public opinion and demographic shifts reshape strategy. From the power of social capital to the ethical tensions of globalization, The Third Pillar provides a comprehensive framework for navigating complexity with clarity and conscience.

It's not just theory-it's a roadmap. With practical insights and real-world applications, this book empowers leaders to craft strategies that are socially attuned, ethically grounded, and built for long-term impact. Whether you're shaping policy, leading a business, or studying the forces behind societal change, The Third Pillar offers the tools to lead with insight and integrity.
