The field of business ethics continues to expand intellectually and
geographically. During the past five decades, scholars have
developed and deepened their inquiries into the ethics of
commercial and corporate conduct. This Companion provides a novel
overview of the discipline of business ethics, covering the major
areas of the field as well as new and emerging topics. The eight
thematic units range over an extraordinary set of subjects and
include chapters on the history and pedagogy of business ethics,
moral philosophy, the nature of business, responsibilities within
the firm, economic institutions, the 2008 financial crisis,
globalization, and business ethics in different regions of the
world. Led by a well-respected editorial team, this unique volume
gathers an international array of experts whose various critical
approaches yield insights from areas such as public policy,
economics, law, and history, in addition to business and
philosophy. With its fresh analyses, wide scope, and clarity of
approach, this volume will be an essential addition to library
collections in business, management, and applied ethics.

The moral dimensions of how we conduct business affect all of our
lives in ways big and small, from the prevention of environmental
devastation to the policing of unfair trading practices, from
arguments over minimum wage rates to those over how government
contracts are handed out. Yet for as deep and complex a field as
business ethics is, it has remained relatively isolated from the
larger, global history of moral philosophy. This book aims to
bridge that gap, reaching deep into the past and traveling the
globe to reinvigorate and deepen the basis of business ethics.
Spanning the history of western philosophy as well as looking
toward classical Chinese thought and medieval Islamic philosophy,
this volume provides business ethicists a unified source of clear,
accurate, and compelling accounts of how the ideas of foundational
thinkers from Aristotle to Friedrich Hayek to Amartya Sen relate to
wealth, commerce, and markets. The essays illuminate perspectives
that have often been ignored or forgotten, informing discussion in
fresh and often unexpected ways. In doing so, the authors not only
throw into relief common misunderstandings and misappropriations
often endemic to business ethics but also set forth rich moments of
contention as well as novel ways of approaching complex ethical
problems. Ultimately, this volume provides a bedrock of moral
thought that will move business ethics beyond the ever-changing
opinions of headline-driven debate.
