On Moral Business: Classical And Contemporary Resources For Ethics In Economic Life



"This text finally overcomes the great gap between theo- logical ethics and business ethics that has been perpetrat- ed by the academic world since the inception of the field of business ethics. Its editors have marshalled a mas- sive array of relevant materials to help religious profession- als and laypeople think about the connections between religiously based morality and the business world.

-ROBERT BENNE Roanoke College

The editors of this book understand well today's global economy and the modern corporation, where legal and financial considerations dominate and ethical considera- tions are downplayed. The trend is toward worldwide, multi- cultural corporations. The challenge is to find new ethical guidelines for the new world that is emerging. This volu- minous book reviews the historical literature on the subject and sets the agenda for such a global business ethic.

"Business executives and students will be rewarded with topical core notions and some bull's-eye insights. The text builds a bridge between contemporary developments in business ethics and moral business leadership in a global economy.

-ROBERT K. MUELLER Former chairman, Arthur D. Little, Inc.
