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.
Poverty is an unnecessary form of human degradation and badly
conceived economics. Our thesis is that poverty can be reduced, if
not eradicated, both locally and globally. But this will occur only
if we change our shared narratives about global free enterprise,
remind ourselves that poverty is a system, and conceive of poverty
alleviation as a "bottom-up" project. There is no "one size fits
all" for poverty reduction. Rather, poverty is a system and must be
addressed locally. It is our aim, as it is the aim of the United
Nations, the World Bank, and many other organizations, to erase it
from our vocabulary and from this planet. With a series of case
studies that accompany each chapter, this book should assist
readers in thinking about poverty alleviation from a number of
perspectives, from bottom-up entrepreneurial projects,
local-corporate ventures, with public-private partnerships, from
focused philanthropy, with education and health care initiatives,
and agriculture reforms in rural communities, all with the aim of
creating a win-win result for local and partnership individuals,
organizations, and communities. The book should be useful in
various undergraduate and graduate courses on ethics, applied
ethics, developing economic systems, and poverty.
