Overview

Business ethics. An oxymoron? Does it sound like something we can hope for but never achieve? Are people just too greedy to be ethical in business? Or, wait, isn't greed good, after all? Designed for the student of business who seeks to gain the insight provided by legal scholarship, this book demonstrates through vivid example and thoughtful, original commentary that businesses and businesspeople face moral questions in almost everything they do. They also must learn laws and comply with them too. Author Timothy R. Watts makes his case that our laws should always be drawn from our moral principles. Where moral principles underpin law, he proves, with wit that entertains and informs, that moral strictures extend well beyond the realm of business and commerce. After all, he asks, Why should a moral principle apply in one area of life but be devoid in another?
