Review: Dirtbag Billionaire: How Yvon Chouinard Built Patagonia, Made a
Fortune, and Gave It All Away – David Gelles (Text Publishing)
Few people globally have influenced business, sport, the environment and
philanthropy like Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard.
Chouinard’s inventive approach across these spheres makes the recent biography
Dirtbag Billionaire by
The New York Times journalist David Gelles an
intriguing read.
The anti-authoritarian entrepreneur started out making basic rock-climbing
equipment. He then built a business reputation based on ethical commerce, and
eventually gave away his company, promising all profits to fighting the climate
crisis.
From an Australian perspective, there are lessons to learn given growing
environmental and climate concerns, while both corporate giving and corporate
distrust have surged in the past decade."
