Many U.S. corporations and the goods they produce negatively impact
our society without breaking any laws. We are all too familiar with
the tobacco industry's effect on public health and health care
costs for smokers and nonsmokers, as well as the role of profit in
the pharmaceutical industry's research priorities. "It's Legal but
It Ain't Right" tackles these issues, plus the ethical ambiguities
of legalized gambling, the firearms trade, the fast food industry,
the pesticide industry, private security companies, and more.
Aiming to identify industries and goods that undermine our societal
values and to hold them accountable for their actions, this
collection makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion
of ethics in our time.
This accessible exploration of corporate legitimacy and crime will
be important reading for advocates, journalists, students, and
anyone interested in the dichotomy between law and
legitimacy.
