Note(s) : "This book aims to deepen the student's understanding of the complex ethical challenges
that businesses face in an increasingly globalized world. As the world moves towards
greater interdependence, it has been demonstrated that globalization is linked to
economic growth. This raises a critical question: as a key player in fostering economic
growth, how does the multinational corporation function as a moral agent? Global Capitalism,
Culture, and Ethics offers a sophisticated analysis of theoretical ethical issues
such as universalism versus pluralism; the connection between law and morality; the
validity of a corporate social agenda; and the general parameters of moral responsibilities
for multinational corporations. With these foundational issues addressed, the book
proceeds to analyze a number of specific controversies such as the proper scope of
political activism, disinvestment, environmental sustainability, and responsible sourcing
from low wage countries. The analysis of globalization is not confined to a treatment
of the moral obligations of multinational corporations, but also reviews the history
of global capitalism, the interdependence between governments and multinational corporations,
and the beneficial and harmful effects of globalization on social welfare."--Publisher's
