History of Business Ethics

Tomas Kavaliauskas

Chapter 1.1 in The Individual in Business Ethics, 2011, pp 13-26 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The history of Business Ethics is an important part of this text. If one did not know this history, one might be tempted to see this branch of ethics as independent of social and political events. Moreover, the history of the evolvement of Business Ethics, as well as the history of its ideas, points towards Protestant values and their religious milieu, where religious morality and the economic goals of capitalism are merged. Therefore, historical context is provided not only for the convenience of the reader, but also because it is necessary in order to fulfil the goals of the book.
