Book Description

Examining enterprise ethics all the best way from antiquity to the nineteenth century, Business Ethics from Antiquity to the Nineteenth Century; (PDF) brings together elements of enterprise and financial historical past to do so. This book starts out with people who are considered to be primitive, demonstrating how people first began to trade goods and objects from commerce as a way to profit and keep the peace. The ancients gave some attention to the morality and value of business, and a great number of their musings had an influence on the Catholic intellectuals and businesspeople of the middle ages. The Protestant religion elevated labor and the generation of income to the level of a virtue and respectable activity. As a result, some Protestant sects, such as the Quakers, became models of moral behavior in business. This book draws on the work of historians and economics to highlight the impact of religious beliefs, changing technologies, and cultural attitudes, demonstrating that what is regarded to be moral fluctuates depending on the time period and the geographic location of the observer.
