Summary
Rethinking Capitalism questions the assumptions of a capitalist society and develops a theory of self and business€that views both as€inextricable€from€their communities. Using classical American pragmatism, Professor Emeritus of Business Ethics Rogene Buchholz analyzes the history of capitalistic thought and€proposes that€management be reconsidered€as a profession€akin to€law€or medicine-with a defined code of ethics and a concrete commitment to the public good, oriented toward service as well as profit and maximization of shareholder wealth
