About

2025 Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice — Shortlisted

What if paying workers fairly was not just the right thing to do, but also the key to a stronger economy? 

In Pay the People! Why Fair Pay Is Good for Business and Great for America, business leaders John Driscoll and Morris Pearl, together with the Patriotic Millionaires, challenge conventional thinking about wages, corporate responsibility and economic prosperity. 

Drawing on their experience in business and finance, the authors argue that low wages and growing income inequality hurt more than individual workers. When millions of Americans struggle to afford basic necessities, consumer spending weakens, businesses lose potential customers and the broader economy suffers. 

Through economic analysis and practical policy recommendations, Pay the People! Why Fair Pay Is Good for Business and Great for America explores how higher wages, responsible business practices and meaningful government action could benefit employees, employers and society as a whole. 

Accessible, provocative and grounded in a business-oriented perspective, this thought-provoking book offers a compelling case for building an economy in which prosperity is more widely shared. 

An engaging read for business professionals, policymakers, students and anyone interested in economics, labour rights and social justice.

“A compelling case for why it’s time for America to invest in our greatest asset—our people.” - Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo
