"An ethical man is a Christian holding four aces." So said Mark Twain. But practicing Christians, at least, want to be ethical in all areas of life and work - not just when they are holding four aces. To those faced with the many questions and quandaries of doing business with integrity, Alexander Hill offers a place to begin.
Hill, in this updated edition, carefully explores the foundational Christian concepts of holiness, justice and love. He then shows how some common responses to business ethics fall short of a fully Christian response. Finally he turns to penetrating case studies on such pressing topics as employer-employee relations, discrimination and affirmative action, and environmental damage. "Just Business" is an excellent introduction to business ethics for students and a bracing refresher for men and women already in the marketplace.
