Editorial Reviews

Dienhart and Curnutt, philosophy professors at St. Cloud University, MN, have assembled a compendium on business ethics that also serves as a textbook. They do a credible job on the philosophical underpinnings and how law enters into the equation. But while ethical issues have long been a part of doing business, in the post-Woodstock era business ethics have become secularized and mainstream--no longer the province of philosophers or lawyers. From an academic perspective, the book provides a source of detailed reference material. Other notable features are the inclusion of films that address contemporary business issues, as well as a who's who that points out a deficiency: virtually all practitioners of business ethics are in academic or legal settings. Where are the corporate representatives? Another problem is that the book is oriented toward the past. Ethical problems are far knottier now, when there are no precedents for judging the likes of Michael Milken and Bill Gates. Recommended for general and academic collections.--Steven Silkunas, Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, Philadelphia
