Greed: Economics and Ethics in Conflict (Searching for a New Framework) Год выпуска: 0Автор: James M. ChildsИздательство: Страниц: 0ISBN: 0800632303Описание We live in an age of greed. Economic good times and the self-immolation of socialist alternatives have left capitalism unrivaled in popular minds as a way of life--a prized set of values and expectations. However, capitalism is not without its downsideor its victims. Basic human services--and even religion--have become commodities. Corporations reorganize for short-term gain at the expense of employees--and of their own long-term viability. Increasingly, people see themselves not as citizens but asconsumers. First World countries, 15 percent of the globe, account for 86 percent of private consumption. In this important book, Childs probes this disturbing development in its economic and cultural dimensions, gauging contemporary ways in light of Christian ethical principles and investigating a wide range of particular sectors and problems. This is an accessible, clear discussion of a complex topic accompanied by thoughtful questions for further group discussion.

Алексей Виталя, привет. Ну вот, наконец-то свершилось! Сдал на отлично! Больше переживал. Моя (наша) работа после вашего сопровождения была признана как самая оригинальная и самая подробная (благодаря стилю моего знакомого из Пензы). Защита длилась почти час и под конец у меня открылось такое красноречие, что у комиссии толком и не нашлось вопросов.
