This book is an extended argument for the critical importance which
justice and ethical leadership should have in business ethics
education. The book examines the history of ideas and purposes in
education, the contemporary role of business schools, and the
social foundations of moral education to conclude that the
pragmatic pursuit of the good must be a central aim of business
strategy. To meet the challenges of facing society today, the
masters of business must be moral craftsmen in a just and
democratic private property economy that serves the common good.
The author grounds this vision for business leadership in the
centrality of systems of exchange in human society, in generating
prosperity and providing for the general welfare. Business ethics
education has focused primarily on moral formation of individual
leaders and managers in the context of ethical codes,
organizational culture, and legal compliance. Important as this
approach is, it fails to generate a sufficient level of business
responsibility to satisfy legitimate social concerns regarding the
use of natural resources, environmental sustainability, reasonable
limitation of systemic risk in capital markets, and fair allocation
of goods and services. If the social purpose of business is not
intentionally embraced and diligently pursued, the economy may
enrich a few but impoverish the society, its resources, and its
democracy. Hence this book argues for a new vision of business
ethics that is grounded in public accountability of business
operations and outcomes for the common good, as a matter of
justice.
