Seminar on entrepreneurial ethics

During my visit to Francisco Marroquín University, I led a one-hour seminar on entrepreneurial ethics. Subtopics:

* Three moral types: Carly, Tonya, and Jane.
* Six questions in ethics.
* Egoism, Altruism, and Predation.
* Entrepreneurial ethics: entrepreneurial success and virtue.
* Why hasn’t the case for liberty convinced everyone?
* Entrepreneurial ethics in contrast to historical codes: hunter-gatherer, aristocratic, and monkish.

    Terrific. I like your connection of the entrepreneurial traits and moral traits. I found the historical analysis enlightening as well.
