Review Principles of Ethical Economy (Issues in Business Ethics, Volume 17) (Issues in Business Ethics) / Springer:The theory of ethical economy analyses the ethical presuppositions of the market economy. It demonstrates that ethics is the pre-coordination in the motives of the economic agents anteceding the coordination of the price system in the market process. Ethical economy develops a positive theory of economic, ethical, and religious coordination of self-interested action described as a super-assurance game of prisoners' dilemma situations. It conceptualises ethics as the corrective of market failure and religion as the corrective of ethics failure. The formal ethics of coordination is then complemented by a theory of the material-substantive ethics of value qualities. One principle of ethical economy is the classical principle of double effect that is used for a theory of managerial and general decision-making. Unintended side-effects (externalities) are a central problem of decisions of large impact. Management decision making must exploit the potential for positive side-effects and control the negative side-effects of managerial decisions. The theory of ethical economy analyses the principles of just price and fair pricing and the relevance of the theory of just price for the pricing behaviour of the modern firm. Principles of Ethical Economy forms a theoretical synthesis of the market theory of modern economics and of the natural right tradition of ethics. [+]It creates new insights into the ethics of the market as well as in the economics presuppositions and consequences of ethical duties, virtues, and goods.

Review Human Values In Management (Corporate Social Responsibility Series) / Ashgate Publishing:As ethical issues continue to rise to the top of political, social and business agendas, the competitive market-economy model comes under renewed scrutiny for its potential to violate the fundamental values and integrity required to maintain and enrich a civil society. Bringing together cutting-edge research from leading academics in the US, Europe, Australia, UK and India, this book explores the challenge business ethics poses for individuals, organizations, public administration and society at large. With potential violations which stretch from personal lapses of bribery and corruption to the more fundamental questions prompted by those who push beyond the limits of an ethically grounded competitive business system, this book provides a stimulating attempt to broaden ethical awareness and define the framework of actions within today's increasingly complex business environment. The book is aimed primarily at researchers and post-graduate students of management. Practising managers will also benefit from the multiple perspectives of ethics in theory and application. The book will provide insights for government policy-makers, regulatory bodies and general readers.

Review Museum Ethics (The Heritage) / Routledge:A number of developments in the museum movement during the last few years have forced museums to give greater attention to ethical issues. Members of the profession are increasingly regarded as constituting an ethical community and every person within such a community must have a sense of personal obligation as well as a responsibility for others to assure ethical achievement. Museum Ethics firmly places notions of ethics in the field of action. It considers the theoretical and practical elements of the philosophy of conduct in relation to both critical contemporary issues and museums. This discussion encompasses the procurement of artifacts, the rights of indigenous peoples, repatriation, the politics of display, the conservation of objects and the role of education, as well as the day-to-day management of a museum. All persons active in museum matters-whether custodian, curator, or trustee-have an ethical obligation to the museum profession and the public. This volume will allow the professional and student alike to work towards a more responsible and responsive museum community.

Review Perspectives on Corporate Social Responsibility (Corporate Social Responsibility Series) / Ashgate Publishing:Over the last decade of the 20th century, the question of the relationship between organisations and society was subject to much debate, often of a critical nature. The decade saw protests concerning the actions of organizations, exposures of corporate exploitation and unfolding accounting scandals. At the same time, ethical behaviour and a concern for the environment have been shown to have a positive correlation with corporate performance. The nature of corporate social responsibility is therefore a topical one for businesses and academics. There are, however, many different perspectives as to what is meant by corporate social responsibility and how this might be applied within organizations. This book explores some of these perspectives, based upon the experiences of people in different parts of the world. The authors involved are respected academics from a variety of disciplines and from a number of different parts of the world. The contributions to this book investigate theoretical perspectives on the topic, the application in practice of socially responsible behaviour and the ethical dimension of such behaviour.

Review Researching with Integrity: The ethics of academic research / Routledge:There is increased emphasis internationally on ethically sound research, and on good training for research supervisors. Researching with Integrity aims to identify what and how research can be undertaken ethically and with ‘virtue’ from initial conception of ideas through to dissemination. It outlines the context in which academics engage in research, considering the impact of discipline and institutional culture, the influence of government audit of research ‘quality’, the role of government and quangos, professional organisations and business sponsors, and examines the effects of the increasing power and influence of funding bodies, university ethics committees and codes of practice. Based on the notion of ‘virtue’ ethics, this book proposes an alternative approach to research, which focuses not only on ethical rules and protocol to avoid unethical research, but encourages academic, professional and character development and allows for the exercise of personal judgement. Themes considered include:Increased competitiveness between academics and concentration of funding in fewer universitiesIncreasingly bureaucratic approval of processes focused on the treatment of human and animals in researchMeeting the expectations of research sponsors‘Taboo’ research topics and methodsExposing findings to the scrutiny of peers, taking credit for the work of others and self-citationBullying of junior researchers and plagiarismPower and influence of institutional, discipline-based and professional organisations Illustrated throughout with short narratives detailing ethical issues and dilemmas from interntional academic researchers representing different disciplines, research cultures and national contexts, this books proposes a an alternative approach to research which provides all research professionals with the intellectual tools they need to cope with complex research.

Review Human Rights and the Moral Responsibilities of Corporate and Public Sector Organisations (Issues in Business Ethics) / Springer:All students and advocates of human rights will be interested in this concerted exploration of the human rights moral obligations that fall, not directly on states, but on private and public organisations. Such an approach to human rights opens up the possibility of holding corporations and bureaucracies to account for human rights violations even when they have acted in accordance with the law. This interdisciplinary and international project brings together eminent philosophers, lawyers, social scientists and practitioners to articulate theoretically and develop in practical contexts the moral implications of human rights for non-state actors. What emerges from the book as a whole is a distinctive contemporary vision of the emerging moral impact of human rights and its significance for organisational behaviour and performance.

Review Ethical Codes and Income Distribution: A Study of John Bates Clark and Thorstein Veblen (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics) / Routledge:In recent years increased attention has been given to continuing disparities in income, both in the developed and in developing countries. Ethical Codes and Income Distribution brings an important new dimension to this important issue. Questions such as does "morality" affect income distribution? And what are the effects of the widespread adoption of ethical codes on the functioning of the labor market? Are explored. This book utilizes the contrasting works of John Bates Clark and Thorstein Velben in order to illuminate the propagation of ethical codes within the two opposing frameworks i. e. the neoclassical and the institutional. John Bates Clark, in the history of economic thought - emphasized the role of market mechanisms in spontaneously propagating "fair" codes of behavior, thus giving rise to a "just" income distribution. Thorstein Velben underlines the importance of bargaining in the socio-political arena in determining the ethical codes adopted in a given society, in given historical contexts. Arguing external interventions - social conflict, above all - are necessary in order to drive institutional changes, in the event of the existing institutions being considered "unjust. " Given this theoretical framework, this book also explores the effects of labor market deregulation on economic as well as on "moral" growth.

Review Searching for the Just City (Questioning Cities) / Routledge:Cities are many things. Among their least appealing aspects, cities are frequently characterized by concentrations of inequalities, great wealth and abject poverty, powerful leaders and often subservient populations. Public decision-making in contemporary cities is full of conflict, and the resolution of disputes is not often predicated on principles of justice. If today's cities are full of injustices, what would a Just City look like? Is a Just City merely a utopia, or has it practical relevance? Is it the best formulation of the most desirable goal for urban development? This book engages the growing debate around these questions. The notion of the Just City emerges from the intellectual history of the ideal city and philosophical discussions about what justice is. The contributors to this volume including: David Harvey, Robert Beauregard, Dolores Hayden, Peter Marcuse and Susan Fainstein define the concept of the Just City and then examine it from many angles, supporting and developing the concept or questioning it and suggesting alternatives. Explorations of the use of the concept in practice include case studies primarily from U. S. cities, but also with illuminating looks at cities in Germany and Israel. The authors find common ground in the conviction that much more far-reaching changes are required in the development of our cities than many professionals, and particularly planners, contemplate. [+]They find that a forthright call for justice in all aspects of city life, putting the question of what a Just or a Good or an Ideal City should be on the day-to-day agenda of urban reform, can be a practical approach to solving concrete questions of urban policy, from what to do with a wholesale food market in the Bronx to avoiding gentrification around mega-projects. The contributing authors thus bridge the gap between theoretical conceptualizations of urban justice and the reality of planning and building cities. The notion of the 'Just City' is an empowering framework for contemporary urban actors to improve the quality of urban life.
