But as \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Way\u003c\/i\u003e shows, in nearly every sector of the economy, blue companies are the top performers. As a result, an investor who places his money in stocks of blue companies will do better than one who chooses red companies or who chooses to invest in the market as a whole. In \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Way\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Adamson and Joe Andrew, cofounders of Blue Investment Management, identify the companies that have the most progressive social values - fair wages, equal opportunity, environmental responsibility - and also contribute to progressive political causes (or are at least neutral). They describe the portfolio they have built around those companies, which to date has out-performed the market. Their innovative investment strategy offers a profitable approach for investors seeking a principled and successful stock portfolio. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Way\u003c\/i\u003e is also a stirring manifesto, a call to embrace socially and politically progressive values. As the authors show, these values aren't anti-business; they are pro-American. For decades the American economy has performed better under Democratic administrations than under Republicans. Americans who \"buy blue,\" say Adamson and Andrew, aren't just acting on their values; they are helping to grow the American economy. The authors explain how to build a \"blue infrastructure,\" a progressive ecosystem in which companies and activists with progressive values can support blue politicians and causes. \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Way\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the progressive movement can learn from the success of the blue business world and create a new progressive majority for the future. \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Way\u003c\/i\u003e describes a revolutionary investment strategy back by solid financial research that benefits investors while fostering socially progressive American values.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel de Faro Adamson, cofounder and CEO of Blue Investment Management, was until recently a leader in the financial services and technology groups at McKinsey \u0026amp; Co., the strategic consulting firm.
