My four-page review of Kevin Gibson’s Ethics and Business: An Introduction (Cambridge University Press, 2007) was published in the Spring 2010 issue of Teaching Philosophy.
Here now is a PDF of the review. From my introduction:
“Gibson’s approach is middle-of-the-road in the content of his beliefs about business and ethics, so this is a mainstream publication. As such Ethics and Business embodies the strengths of the mainstream—and a few of its weaknesses. So from the perspective of someone outside the mainstream, let me indicate what I take those weaknesses to be in the context of reviewing a textbook written for students. …”
Interesting that the cover image of Gibson’s book captures much of his theme: a businessman walking a tightrope, suggesting that ethics is a precarious balancing act and more often a matter of failure and plunging into the abyss.
