My review of Kevin Gibson’s Ethics and Business: An Introduction (Cambridge University Press, 2007) was published in the journal Teaching Philosophy (Spring 2010). Here’s a 13-minute audio version of the review in MP3 or at YouTube.
Topics covered in the review:
* Criteria for evaluating textbooks in business ethics.
* The Concession versus Contractual theories of corporations.
* The Perfect Information assumption.
* Capitalism versus the mixed economy.
* What egoism is: Machiavelli and Hobbes versus Aristotle and Rand.
* Theory-heavy versus case-study approaches to business ethics.
* The Bhopal disaster in India.
Also: Here is a PDF version of the print review.
Thank you for such interesting review… indeed, Gibson’s book is very interesting and informative.
