Antonio Tencati and Francesco Perrini, Business Ethics and Corporate Sustainability: Studies in Transatlantic Business Ethics

摘要

The problem is starkly stated and the solutions are urgently pressed. "The legitimacy of all firms is at stake," leads off the introduction to a series of essays about how we can better address structures that seem designed to divert and pervert the "invisible hand" of the market oversight function described by Adam Smith. Editors Antonio Tencati and Francesco Perrini call the current mainstream business model a "systems crisis" that is "self-defeating, ethically questionable, and, after all, unsustainable" (p. xxv).
