Kevin T. Jackson,
DirectorThe Program in Business and Ethics aims to
address contemporary concerns about business governance. In recent
years, scandal after scandal has roiled the corporate world and
revealed the need for reform. Stricter legal regulation of business
has been proposed, but such measure have imposed unexpected social
and economic costs while generating limited benefits. What are
needed are an elevated sense of business as a calling and renewal of
the moral culture of enterprise. The Program in Business and Ethics
proposes to re-think the nature of business in light of
philosophical reflection on human flourishing and the common good.
It places special emphasis on ways to address more adequately the
needs of the human person and the family in a free-market economy.
