Why read it?
1 author picked Business Ethics in the 21st Century as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It attempts an evaluation of capitalism from within ethics and various disciplines.
Although universal moral rules in capitalism have clear difficulties in implementation, this challenge pushes us to reflect on the moral inadequacy of pragmatist/utilitarian ways of responding to ethics in capitalism, as they are myopic. The book suggests a universal ethic of duty for dignity is better ethics, even if it is still assuming a global universal moral rule.
From Kleio's list on capitalism, ethics, and the self.
