Business Moral

Can business activity in itself be morally good and pleasing to God? Sometimes business can seem so shady-manipulating the "bottom line", deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know. But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God's character and creation. He shows that all aspects of business,including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature.

Charles Spinosa, Matthew Hancocks, and Haridimos Tsoukas tell us that today's business leaders are the misunderstood moral artists of our time.

Profit Without Apology is a moral defense of business in a culture that treats financial success as guilt and profit as vice. It argues that businessmen—far from being exploiters—are the creators of modern life, and that their pursuit of profit is not something to hide or downplay, but to champion with pride. Challenging the dominant ethic of self-sacrifice, this book makes the case for a new moral ideal—one that recognizes production as a virtue, trade as justice, and the businessman as a moral hero.

In Systems of Survival, Jane Jacobs identifies two distinct moral syndromes—one governing commerce, the other politics—and explores what happens when these two syndromes collide.

Just how much more can your retirement investment grow if you managed it more actively? How does one to two percent per day sound? This is possible with active trading. Indeed, this is possible with the information you'll find from this audiobook, Stock Market Investing for Beginners.

According to conventional morality, either a business manager maximizes profits and necessarily compromises on ethics, or necessarily sacrifices profits in order to be moral.

The first principle is life; the second, maintenance of life. The thing of greatest human interest and importance, therefore, is the production and distribution of food, the manufacture of necessities; Or what we call Business. Religion, education, art, politics, are all secondary to it, since we live because of our work; and without life we should need neither salvation, learning, homes, literature, nor any-thing else. Business is nothing more than food-getting; incidentally, it means founding a home, a family, assisting in building a school, a road, a street, and finally, appreciation of ...

People care so much about their popularity, their appearance, and their status. They care about what people think, whether others approve, and how they measure up. What’s more, people buy things to appear successful and even lower their personal standards to gain acceptance. But how are you viewed by the person you spend the most amount of time with — yourself?
