A good and balance look at economics and its ethical considerations.
From the lesson
Justice in a Commercial Society?
Many people are suspicious of business. Should they be? Can business be honorable? Is business required to 鈥済ive back鈥 to society?
These are some of the questions you鈥檒l consider during this first week of the course. I will introduce you to common perceptions of business (negative and positive) and encourage you to reflect upon the possibility that business can be honorable and play a role in a just and humane society.
