Review The Economics of Sin: Rational Choice or No Choice at All / Edward Elgar Publishing:"The Economics of Sin" examines the definition and evolution of sin from the perspective of rational choice economics, yet is conscious of the limitations of such an approach. The author argues that because engaging in activities deemed to be sinful is an act of choice, it can therefore be subject to the logic of choice in the economic model. The book considers the formation of religions, including the new age revival of "wicca", as regulators of the quasi-market in sins, and goes on to the role of specific sins such as lying, envy, jealousy, greed, lust, sloth and waste in individual markets and in macroeconomic activity. Empirical evidence on issues such as cannibalism, capital punishment, addiction, adultery and prostitution is also explored. Samuel Cameron concludes that a large percentage of economic activity is intimately connected with forms of sin which are in some circumstances highly beneficial to the functioning of markets, particularly in the presence of market failure. This study of the institution of sin should be of great interest to a wide-ranging readership, including researchers and teachers of economics, sociology and theology. It should also be of importance to anthropologists and philosophers.

Review Philosophy, Literature and the Human Good / Routledge:Weston examines the role of literature in philosophical reflection on the significance of life, addressing both the European "Post-Nietzschean" tradition and the increasing importance of these issues for major American and British thinkers. He initiates a dialogue between these traditions and outlines their central connections and differences. In particular, Weston carefully examines via key readings of these thinkers whether literature can make a positive contribution to ethics.

Review The Book of Business Etiquette / IndyPublish:CONTENTS: PART IThe American Business ManThe Value of Courtesy Putting Courtesy Into BusinessPersonalityTable MannersTelephones and Front DoorsTraveling and SellingThe Business of WritingMorals and Manners PART II-Big Business-In a Department StoreA While With a Traveling ManTables for Two Or MoreLadies First? excerpt from CHAPTER I - THE AMERICAN BUSINESS MAN The business man is the national hero of America, as native to the soil and as typical of the country as baseball or Broadway or big advertising. He is an interesting figure, picturesque and not unlovable, not so dashing perhaps as a knight in armor or a soldier in uniform, but he is not without the noble (and ignoble) qualities which have characterized the tribe of man since the world began. America, in common with other countries, has had distinguished statesmen and soldiers, authors and artists-and they have not all gone to their graves unhonored and unsung-but the hero story which belongs to her and to no one else is the story of the business man. Nearly always it has had its beginning in humble surroundings, with a little boy born in a log[Pg 2] cabin in the woods, in a wretched shanty at the edge of a field, in a crowded tenement section or in the slums of a foreign city, who studied and worked by daylight and firelight while he made his living blacking boots or selling papers until he found the trail by which he could climb to what we are pleased to call success. Measured by the standards of Greece and Rome or the Middle Ages, when practically the only form of achievement worth mentioning was fighting to kill, his career has not been a romantic one. It has had to do not with dragons and banners and trumpets, but with stockyards and oil fields, with railroads, sewer systems, heat, light, and water plants, telephones, cotton, corn, ten-cent stores and-we might as well make a clean breast of it-chewing gum. We have no desire to crown the business man with a halo, though judging from their magazines and from the stories which they write of their own lives, they are almost without spot or blemish. Most of them seem not even to have had faults to overcome. They were born perfect. Now the truth is that the methods of accomplishment which the American business man has used have not always been above reproach and still are not. [+]At the same time it would not be hard to prove that he-and here we are speak[Pg 3]ing of the average-with all his faults and failings (and they are many), with all his virtues (and he is not without them), is superior in character to the business men of other times in other countries. This without boasting. It would be a great pity if he were not. Without trying to settle the question as to whether he is good or bad (and he really can be pigeon-holed no better than any one else) we have to accept this: He is the biggest factor in the American commonwealth to-day. It follows then, naturally, that what he thinks and feels will color and probably dominate the ideas and the ideals of the rest of the country. Numbers of our magazines-and they are as good an index as we have to the feeling of the general public-are given over completely to the service or the entertainment of business men (the T. B. M. ) and an astonishing amount of space is devoted to them in most of the others.

Review The Fiction of Bioethics (Reflective Bioethics) / Routledge:Tod Chambers suggests that literary theory is a crucial component in the complete understanding of bioethics. The Fiction of Bioethics explores the medical case study and distills the idea that bioethicists study real-life cases, while philosophers contemplate fictional accounts. Chambers argues that case studies ethicists use are in fact, fiction, and thus follow representations of perception. Literary theory can inform and provide an important angle for the ethicist attempting to discern meaning from case studies. This book examines literary conventions including point of view, plot, characterization and authorship, to demonstrate the significance of fiction in bioethical case studies.

Review Research on Professional Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting, Volume 12 (Research on Professional Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting) (Research ... Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting) / JAI Press:Research on Professional Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting is devoted to publishing high-quality research and cases that focus on the professional responsibilities of accountants and how they deal with the ethical issues they face. The series features articles on a broad range of important and timely topics, including professionalism, social responsibility, ethical judgment, and accountability. The professional responsibilities of accountants are broad-based; they must serve clients and user groups whose needs, incentives, and goals may be in conflict. Further, accountants must interpret and apply codes of conduct, accounting and auditing principles, and securities regulations. Compliance with professional guidelines is judgment-based, and characteristics of the individual, the culture, and situations affect how these guidelines are interpreted and applied, as well as when they might be violated. Interactions between accountants, regulators, standard setters, and industries also have ethical components. Research into the nature of these interactions, resulting dilemmas, and how and why accountants resolve them, is the focus of this series. *Publishes annualy*Research on Professional Responsibility and Ethics in Accounting is devoted to publishing high-quality research and cases that focus on the professional responsibilities of accountants and how they deal with the ethical issues they face.

Review The Ethics and Politics of Human Experimentation / Cambridge University Press:This book focuses on experimentation that is carried out on human beings, including medical research, drug research and research undertaken in the social sciences. It discusses the ethics of such experimentation and asks the question: who defends the interests of these human subjects and ensures that they are not harmed? The author finds that ethical research depends on the adequacy of review by committee. Indeed most countries now rely on research ethics committees for the protection of the interests of the human participants in research. Dr McNeill analyses how successful these committees are in balancing the interests of science with the interests of human subjects.
