Greed,Inc.
Why is television so awful? Why do drug companies hide unfavourable test results? Why do automakers market unsafe cars? Why is our environment poi-soning us? Why is our food so unhealthy?Why are we working sixty-hour weeks?
Greed, Inc. places the blame for much of what ails contemporary society at the doorstep of a single institution — the modern publicly traded Corporation. We have become an uncaring society because the corporate ethos that informs virtually every-thing in our culture is uniquely and implacably self-ish.The corporation exists for one purpose only: to make a profit.
This book traces the rise of the corporation from the Rationalist social engineering of the eigh-teenth century — as well as the parallel triumph of moral relativism, consumerism, enterprise culture, and other dominant value systems of our time. It shows how a series of psychological misconcep-tions institutionalized greed and self-serving be-haviour as a good thing for society.

Greed, Inc. is groundbreaking in that it reveals the roots of our social discontent for the first time through the lens of moral philosophy. Anybody who cares about our quality of life and the very survival of humanity will need to read this book. Vissza
