Samenvatting:

* Provides a mainstream (non--Marxist) criticism of fundamental foundations of capitalism. * Shows how firms managed by Kantian ethical principles can make money. * Presents the systematic application of the ethical principles of major ethical theorists to business. .

This book provides a distinctive and wide-ranging introduction to business ethics. In so doing, Bowie applies the essential features of Kantian moral philosophy to the business firm by addressing the question "How should a business firm in a capitalist economy be structured and managed according to the principles of Kant's ethics?" In answering that question the author spells out the implications of Kant's ethics for business practice.

It provides essential reading for anyone with an academic or professional interest in business ethics today.
