"For Business Ethics is a daring adventure into the world of business ethics. It offers a clear and accessible introduction to business ethics and also expands business ethics beyond its current narrow confines. It is ground-breaking in the sense that it invites a distinctively critical approach to business ethics, an approach that the authors argue is part and parcel of ethics. With a thought-provoking glossary and recommendations for further readings, For Business Ethics is an essential purchase for students and practitioners alike. It is at once an introduction to business ethics and a challenge to anyone who wishes to take part in or change contemporary organised society."--Back cover 7.Denying ethics 1 : bureaucracy --Introduction --The banality of evil --McEthics --Intentions and consequences --In praise of bureaucracy? --Moral distance --Modern business --8.Denying ethics 2 : global capital --WTO kills farmers --The social responsibility of business --The social responsibility of business --Neoliberalism --Striking back --Capitalism, commodities and ethics --Challenging commodity fetishism --Can wrong life be lived rightly? --9.Business ethics today --Introduction : fashion and utopia in business ethics --Community --Trust --Whistleblowing --Responsibility --Cynicism --Business ethics, the very idea --10.Conclusion : For business ethics --Introduction --Ethics and thought --For business ethics --Business ethics and reality --Glossary --Further reading --References --Author index --Subject index.
