Synopsis
The authors of this book examine the prejudiced view that all business is inherently immoral and come to the conclusion that this view is dangerously wrong. The Business of Commerce: Examining an Honorable Profession -Explores the cultural, philosophical, and theological sources of the bad reputation suffered by business in Western culture -Samples prominent opinion, from Plato to Galbraith -Examines the fundamental dichotomies of a society that seeks prosperity, yet disdains the very processes by which prosperity is achieved -Traces the ideologies that undermine the moral standing of commerce -Builds the convincing case that antibusiness sentiment rises primarily from the belief that human nature and human life find their higher value in an otherworldly realm, that earthly life finds its unworthy equal in the struggle to improve life in the lower realm . . . the business of commerce The Business of Commerce: Examining an Honorable Profession demonstrates why such a view is unreasonable, unwarranted, and unjust. It presents compelling evidence that the profession of business is no less worthy of respect than the professions of medicine, science, art, or education. Along the way this book explores a number of related subjects that lead to a sobering conclusion: Unless a positive attitude emerges, economic prosperity will elude the very societies that need it most., Chesher and Machan explore the cultural, philosophical, and theological sources of the bad reputation suffered by business in Western culture. They sample prominent opinion, from Plato to Galbraith, in an examination of the fundamental dichotomies of a society that seeks prosperity, yet disdains the processes by which prosperity is achieved.

    Shipping was good (I do understand things have been running slower than normal, but I feel we have to deal with that as long as we get it, this is NOT the person/dealers selling the items, it has everything to do with USPS. I have done a lot of research and USPS needs to start doing their job better), packaging was with care, the described top I got look just like the picture and the value was perfect. Thanks, Barb

    High quality card, in very good condition. Card looks like new. Good value for money paid. Packaging and shipping were great. Card was packaged in a heavy protective card sleeve, always a good idea. Looks like card postmarked on July 1 and arrived in my mailbox on July 5.

    A+++++ 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟Perfect transaction in every way! Quick shipping, the price was lower than any other I found on eBay - which was difficult because this dress was discontinued years ago and the item exactly as described and when described as "Gently Used" it really was! It actually looks brand new, the colors aren't even faded! Thank you so much and I hope to do business with you again! 😊
