“Can the ethical turn that we are presently witnessing among corporations, consumers, investors, employees, activists, and other stakeholders – their desire to address a number of concerns beyond the profit motive – become a basis for a new “social contract” in which the interests of business and the interests of society can coincide? In other words, can there be such a thing as an ethical economy?”

Adam Arvidsson and Nicolai Peitersen’s new book “The Ethical Economy: Rebuilding Value After the Crisis” is now available from Columbia University Press.
