Robert Coles; Albert LaFarge

Opis

In a course he taught at Harvard Business School and elsewhere for many years, esteemed psychiatrist Robert Coles asked future money market managers and risk arbitrageurs to pause for a semester and reflect on the ethical dimensions of their chosen profession.Now, for corporate professionals, armchair entrepreneurs, and other students of commerce, Coles has gathered a generous and stimulating collection of classic literary reflections on the ethical and spiritual predicaments of the business world.From John Cheever s descriptions of a businessman who endures a moral crisis after stealing a neighbor s wallet, and Gwendolyn Parker s Uppity Buppie, in which an African American woman ascends to the upper ranks of corporate America, to Death of a Salesman and Tolstoy s Master and Man, Minding the Store offers a richly human vision of the business world. With selections by Joseph Heller, Flannery O Connor, Ann Beattie, and John Updike, Coles gives us the essential literary gems that illuminate the human predicaments of commerce and the moral quandaries of the marketplace.
