Packed with examples, this book offers a clear and engaging overview of ethical issues in business.

It begins with a discussion of foundational issues, including the objectivity of ethics, the content of ethical theories, and the debate between capitalism and socialism, making it suitable for the beginning student. It then examines ethical issues in business in three broad areas. The first is the market. Issues explored are what can be sold (the limits of markets) and how it can be sold (ethics in marketing). The second is work. Topics in this area are health and safety, meaningful work, compensation, hiring and firing, privacy, and whistleblowing. The third area is the firm in society. Here readers explore corporate social responsibility, corporate political activity, and the set of ethical challenges that attend international business.

Issues are introduced through real-world examples that underscore their importance and make them come alive. Arguments for opposing positions are given fair hearings and students are encouraged to develop and defend their own views.

Key Features

  • Introduces each topic with a real-world example, which is referenced regularly in the subsequent argument.
  • Contains a critical evaluation of capitalism and socialism, with a focus on private property, the market system, and the welfare state.
  • Explores the limits of markets and encourages students to ask what should and should not be for sale.
  • Explores the phenomena of corporate political activity and ethical consumerism.
  • Includes initial chapter overviews and - at the end of each chapter - study questions and suggested additional readings.

Jeffrey Moriarty is Professor of Philosophy at Bentley University and currently serves as Executive Director of its Hoffman Center for Business Ethics.
