Business Ethics: The Big Picture

Mark C. Vopat

Alan Tomhave

This anthology asks students to focus on the assumptions underlying the activity of business. Why does society provide special protections for businesses? What is the purpose of a corporation? What do businesses owe society? And are there some things that shouldn’t be distributed by the free market? These questions are addressed through classic readings from such central figures as Smith and Marx, as well as contemporary selections. A number of compelling real-world case studies are also discussed.

Mark C. Vopat

Mark. C. Vopat and Alan Tomhave are professors of philosophy at Youngstown State University.
