This book takes a critical view on corporate practice, governmental action and the general approach to Corporate Social Responsibility. It draws on experience from the Workplace Innovation movement and argues that, as with motherhood and apple pie, it is hard to oppose CSR, with a community of well-meaning people. It is however necessary to challenge the foundations on which it is based.

Many accounts of CSR assume a consistent model of capitalism around the world. It is suggested that capitalism can be given a human face, as companies adopt programmes which go beyond the minimum...

Die vorliegende Studie befasst sich mit der Lebensform des Menschen als geistige Lebensform. Seit wir wissen, dass die Lebensform des Menschen einem sakular verstandenen Universum zugehort und sich aus der Evolution heraus gebildet hat, ist die Frage unabweisbar, wodurch sie als geistige Lebensform moglich geworden ist. Die Frage hat aber bisher nicht nur keine Antwort gefunden, sie ist als Frage geradezu blockiert worden.
