=======================================================


Can capitalism be saved from its own excesses?

NOW's David Brancaccio talks with a former Fortune 500 CEO who prescribes a cure for self-serving corporate leaders prone to abandoning rules of right and wrong -- at great peril to their companies, their communities, and the environment. Bill George's new book, "True North," provides insight and inspiration from 125 top U.S. business leaders across a wide spectrum of industries.

"I think we've been choosing boards of directors and many wrong leaders for the wrong reason," George says. "We choose people for their image, their charisma, their style and we should be choosing them for their integrity, for their character, and their substance."

What's wrong with American capitalism and how to fix it. This week on NOW.

The same could be said for Political leaders...
