The Role of Business Ethics in Economic Performance

Places the link between ethics and economic performance in the context of capitalist economics, with a theoretical scope ranging from early modern economic thought to current theories of economic leadership and the role of contract. In 11 papers from an October 1996 workshop in Cambridge, England, academics and business executives offer perspectives of commentators within their fields, those with responsibility for corporate action both in the market-place and in the community, economists, and specialists in such areas as the environment and ethical investment.
