Seeking Adam Smith provides a fascinating insider's explanation for
why business school faculty members, including the author, bear
some responsibility for the highly destructive corporate practices
evident throughout the first sixteen years of the 21st
century.Since the Great Recession substantial resources and effort
have been expended to incorporate ethics and corporate social
responsibility into business curricula. The effectiveness of these
efforts has been limited because they have little impact on the
technical and core business courses serving as the gateway to the
highest paying jobs. Students and practitioners may be led to
conclude falsely that the business world is an ethics-free
zone.Seeking Adam Smith demonstrates that greed is highly
destructive motive for conducting business and the notion that
greed is good is nowhere to be found in the Wealth of Nations
despite claims by some of the world's leading economists. Cox
offers alternative economic perspectives that are more realistic
and less prone to misuse than those permeating the current business
curricula.Seeking Adam Smith also contains a forward written by
Thomas J. Ward who served as Senior Managing Partner of Bear
Stearns during its demise and an afterward by Sherron Watkins,
Enron whistle-blower and Time Person of the Year 2002.
