Description
This book is an examination of the contemporary ethical problems of business in a philosophical context. It analyses various types of capitalism, in particular, the Anglo-American type which is practised primarily in the English-speaking world, and is exemplified by the commercial and financial systems of Wall Street and the City of London. This analysis includes an examination of the corporation, the ethics of the stock market, the morality of take-overs and the problem of business and the environment.
