Our quest for prosperity has produced great output but not always
great outcomes. The growing list of concerns includes climate and
natural capital, abuse of wealth and market power, economic
insecurity, gender bias and disparity, competitive and immoderate
consumption, and unhealthful lifestyles. Fundamentally, when it
comes to well-being, fairness, and the scope of our humanity, the
modern economic system still leaves much to be desired. In turn,
trust in business and the liberal market system (a.k.a.
"capitalism") has been declining and regulation has been rising.
Thankfully, a variety of forces-civic, economic, and
intellectual-have been probing for better alternatives. The
contributions in this volume, coauthored by eminent philosophers,
social scientists, and thoughtful business leaders, are submitted
in this spirit. Mutuality, or the exchange of benefits, has been
established as the prime principle of action and inter-action in
addressing the chronic dilemma of human interdependence. Mutuality
is a fundament in the social contract approach and it continues to
serve us well. But, to address more robustly the concerns outlined
above, we need to conceive a cultural economic system that is
anchored on more than mutuality. In particular, we must help evolve
an economic paradigm where mutuality is more systematically
complemented by reasoned and elective morality. Otherwise the
design of the state as protector and buffer between the market and
society will remain the central (if inadequate) remedy. The essays
in this volume integrate philosophy and social science to outline
and explore concrete approaches to these important concerns
emanating from business practice and theory.
