As the world moves towards greater interdependence, it has been demonstrated that globalization is linked to economic growth. This raises a critical question: as a key player in fostering economic growth, how does the multinational corporation function as a moral agent? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGlobal Capitalism, Culture, and Ethics\u003c\/em\u003e offers a sophisticated analysis of theoretical ethical issues such as universalism versus pluralism; the connection between law and morality; the validity of a corporate social agenda; and the general parameters of moral responsibilities for multinational corporations. With these foundational issues addressed, the book proceeds to analyze a number of specific controversies such as the proper scope of political activism, disinvestment, environmental sustainability, and responsible sourcing from low wage countries. The analysis of globalization is not confined to a treatment of the moral obligations of multinational corporations, but also reviews the history of global capitalism, the interdependence between governments and multinational corporations, and the beneficial and harmful effects of globalization on social welfare. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeaving together themes from economics, history, philosophy, and law, this book allows the reader to appreciate globalization from multiple perspectives. Its theoretical cogency and uncompromising clarity make it a rewarding read for students interested in issues of ethics and globalization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595939233943,"sku":"9780415843966","price":8355.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415843966.webp?v=1774991786","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/global-capitalism-culture-and-ethics-9780415843966","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
