Description/Synopsis: Throughout recorded history, religion and ethics remain the primary sources of conflict in life. The 21st Century is right on track, from the war in the Middle East to sectarian violence nearly everywhere else. Hardly a day goes by without religious conflicts being in the headlines. Additionally, the news is filled with the shenanigans of Enron, WorldCom and gas company price gouging, forcing hard questions about business ethics to the forefront of most peoples' minds In The Gods of Business, Dr. Todd Albertson maps the intersection of faith and the marketplace. In plain language he analyzes the world's major religions--Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Secular Postmodernism, Shintoism, and Sikhism--and how their spiritual traditions impact business ethics.
The Gods of Business provides telling insights into the silent subtleties and the loudly proclaimed dogmas that dramatically affect global business, leaving many newcomers unaware, confused or wishing they could just turn back the clock and deal with their hometown ways of doing things. This book is a fascinating, insightful and entertaining read that will change the way you look at the world around you. |
