Chapter Chapter 3 in Developing Business Ethics in China, 2006, pp 44-51 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This essay studies the historical development of Confucian and Christian ethics about the market economy. As both traditions contain some socialist elements, a study of how each has responded to the historical changes in market institutions in order to maintain the dynamism and vitality of their traditions may give us insights into the development of business ethics for contemporary Chinese economy as it develops into a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.
