Profit with
Honor: The New Stage of Market
Capitalism
by Daniel Yankelovich
This wise and optimistic book examines
the rampant scandals that plague American
corporations today and shows how companies
can reverse the resulting climate of
mistrust. By seizing the opportunity to
address some of the nation's -- and the
world's -- most serious problems, business
can strengthen its reputation for
integrity and service and advance to a new
stage of ethical legitimacy. Daniel
Yankelovich, a social scientist and an
experienced member of the corporate
boardroom, describes the toxic convergence
of cultural and business trends that has
led inexorably to corporate scandals. Yet
he offers reassurance that opportunity
exists for positive change. Creative
business leaders can advance market
capitalism to its next stage of evolution,
building upon business norms that
simultaneously emphasize the legitimacy of
profit making and the importance of the
care that companies give to employees,
customers, and the larger society.

An interesting
and enlightening work...
"A Free Nation Deep in Debt" is James
Macdonald's first literary contribution to
the field of political economy and it is
rich in historical detail, a fact which
may make it a challenging read for anyone
unacquainted with ordinary economic
history and its specific historiography.
Macdonald, an investment banker for many
years who now lives in Oxford, England,
discusses the idea that the way a country
borrows its money is associated with what
kind of government it has. In his
discussion, Macdonald traces the evolution
of public debt from antiquity to the
present, arguing that public finance and
political freedom are more closely
interrelated than most people realize.
