Business Ethics and Catholic Social Thought provides a new and
wide-ranging account of these two ostensibly divergent fields.
Focusing on the agency of the business person and the interests of
firms, this volume outlines fundamental issues confronting moral
leaders and corporations committed to responsible business
practices.
Working Alternatives explores economic life from a humanistic and
multidisciplinary perspective, with a particular eye on religions'
implications in practices of work, management, supply, production,
remuneration, and exchange. Its contributors draw upon historical,
ethical, business, and theological conversations considering the
sources of economic sustainability and justice. The essays in this
book-from scholars of business, religious ethics, and history-offer
readers practical understanding and analytical leverage over these
pressing issues. Modern Catholic social teaching-a 125-year-old
effort to apply Christian thinking about the implications of faith
for social, political, and economic circumstances-provides the key
springboard for these discussions. Contributors: Gerald J. Beyer,
Alison Collis Greene, Kathleen Holscher, Michael Naughton, Michael
Pirson, Nicholas Rademacher, Vincent Stanley, Sandra
Sullivan-Dunbar, Kirsten Swinth, Sandra Waddock
This book focuses on the world's first publicly-funded body- the
Criminal Cases Review Commission- to review alleged miscarriages of
justice, set up following notorious cases such as the Birmingham
Six in the UK. Providing a critique of its operations, the book
shows that its help to innocent victims of wrongful conviction is
merely incidental.
This book, now in paperback, focuses on the world's first
publicly-funded body to review alleged miscarriages of justice, set
up in the wake of notorious cases such as the Guildford Four and
the Birmingham Six. Bringing together critical perspectives from
campaigners, prominent criminal appeal practitioners and academic
specialists, it centres on the different aspects of the CCRC's
tasks, in particular, the limitations placed on it by its governing
statute that hinder its claimed independence from the appeal courts
and its working practices which prevents the referral of cases in
which victims may be factually innocent. The book compares the CCRC
with existing systems in Scotland, the US and Canada that deal with
alleged wrongful convictions. Thoroughly undermining its
operations, this study argues that the CCRC's help to innocent
victims of wrongful conviction is merely incidental.

Business Ethics and Catholic Social Thought provides a new and
wide-ranging account of these two ostensibly divergent fields.
Focusing on the agency of the business person and the interests of
firms, this volume outlines fundamental issues confronting moral
leaders and corporations committed to responsible business
practices.
Managing As If Faith Mattered, the inaugural volume in the Catholic
Social Tradition series, defines the proposed thrust of the new
series: to study the very best of what the Catholic social
tradition has to offer in response to the pressing issues and
problems of our times. Challenging the often-held double standard
of private and public moralities, authors Helen Alford and Michael
Naughton bridge the fault line between work and faith by engaging
current management issues with that tradition. Alford and Naughton
address issues essential to the interface between enterprise and
ethics: integrity, personal responsibility, and human solidarity.
They consider the practical realities of managers within their
economic and human resource environments, and discuss such concrete
management issues as job design, just wages, corporate ownership
structures, marketing communication, and product development. In
their hands, economic and social challenges become opportunities to
integrate their beliefs and to make decisions based on the tenets
of Catholic social tradition. Undergraduate and graduate students
and faculty in management, business, theology, and ethics will find
it an excellent text, and real-life managers will benefit from the
practical wisdom it contains.
