Description
Business, Ethics and the Environment
explores the public policy debate surrounding the issue of business and its role in environmental matters. Unlike other discussions on this subject, the major focus here is not the monetary cost/benefit of environmental protection, but instead, the ethical obligations businesses may have for protecting the environment. A variety of questions are addressed by the contributors, including: Are businesses obligated to protect the environment? Should private enterprises take an active and leading role in solving a national problem? Should the solution be entirely a matter of public policy, involving business only to the extent that businesses are bound by law?

The goal of this unique series is to provide high school and college students researching current topics of interest with background material and information through pivotal primary documents that shaped policy or law and to expose the controversial aspects of the issue through historical documents. The work at hand...accomplishes this goal....Because the topic of environmental conservation will continue to be a popular well into this century, this book will be a used frequently in high school and university libraries.
