Finance Ethics

The first book ever to integrate business ethics with financial economics, Finance Ethics shows how ethical behavior fits within the rational, profit-maximizing, finance paradigm. Dobson argues that even in economic terms the finance paradigm has a serious flaw: it views the firm and financial markets in general as contractual nexuses yet it fails to supply any adequate mechanisms for enforcing those contractual relations. Finance Ethics is therefore not just a moral critique of the finance paradigm, arguing that self-interested profit making must be constrained by ethics. Rather, it is a critique from within that paradigm, in which truth becomes a rational mechanism to enforce contracts, and virtuous behavior is shown to make the most business sense.

<div>When Year Of The Gherkin was released in 2012, Jason Brydon quickly established himself as quite probably the least likeable protagonist of South African fiction since... forever. And yet his diary of extreme narcissism, grand delusions and ongoing calamity also turned him into one of the funniest. Now The Jasonator is back! Not that his friends, or pretty much anyone in Cape Town, have missed him since his job-loss-imposed banishment to his folks' place in the godforsaken Eastern Cape, where's he's been biding his time serving the soaks - mostly his dad - at the Port Alfred Country Club... Anyway, point is Jason Brydon is back and this time he's gonna crush it.</div>

An illustrated autobiography of John Dobson with over 100 photographs. John Dobson left his home on the small farm in the North of England at the age of 14 to work understairs in London and then on to a career in the Royal Air Force. There are fascinating details about life in the countryside and farm life in the 1920s/30s as well as his time working as a hallboy "below stairs" in London. John then chronicles his R.A.F. experiences and travels throughout Africa during World War II and England postwar before taking the reader to Cyprus during the "troubles," or EOKA uprising and then to Singapore in the late 1960s. He continues with his life after the R.A.F. to retirement. He has included many vignettes from his life, some told with his laconic sense of humour but all revealing extremely interesting glimpses into a past that started before television, radio, computers, flush toilets, phones and jet aircraft. John's book also includes a chapter about his hobby of tatting with which he won many awards.
