For courses in Business Ethics A fresh approach to the assumptions that underlie business practices Two recent events — the 2008 economic meltdown and the ongoing concentration of the nation’s wealth in the hands of a very small percentage of the population — have led many people to question a number of basic assumptions about business, corporations, and the workings of contemporary free-market capitalism in a global economy. Written as a dialogue between Socrates and a hypothetical contemporary CEO, Socrates Comes to Wall Street leads students to think critically about perspectives and practices that are taken as “givens” in most American business schools and corporations. Employing this original and provocative approach, author Thomas White seeks to encourage the next generation of business leaders to be more astute about the implications of their actions, and to act more prudently and more fairly than we have seen in the recent past.

China's Camel Country: Livestock and Nation-Building at a Pastoral Frontier (Culture, Place, and Nature)

China today positions itself as a model of state-led environmentalism. On the country's arid rangelands, grassland conservation policies have targeted pastoralists and their animals, blamed for causing desertification. State environmentalism--in the form of grazing bans, enclosure, and resettlement--has transformed the lives of many ethnic minority herders in China's western borderlands. However, this book shows how such policies have been contested and negotiated on the ground, in the context of the state's intensifying nation-building project. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Alasha, in the far west of China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Thomas White describes how ethnic Mongols have foregrounded the local breed of Bactrian camel, mobilizing ideas of heritage and resource conservation to defend pastoralism.In exploring how the greening of the Chinese state affects the entangled lives of humans and animals at the margins of the nation-state, this study is both a political biography of the Bactrian camel and an innovative work of political ecology addressing critical questions of rural livelihoods, conservation, and state power.

LIVING TESTIMONIES OF FAITH UNDER FIRE For more than thirty years, Fidel Castro tried to extinguish the light of the church in Cuba. Its glow ﬂickered, but did not go out. Political and spiritual leaders in this communist stronghold want the West to believe that religious persecution does not exist. In this book you will learn the truth. - Discover the true plight of the Cuban church - See why persecuted Christians around the world regard Cuban believers as comrades in suffering - Admire the bravery of Cuban pastors - Witness the outpouring of God's Spirit on Cuba's spiritually famished people The events presented in this book were taken from the wire services, news articles from three con- tinents, written and verbal reports of pastors and professors who visited Cuba, personal interviews, and taped and written testimony from Christians living behind the Sugar Cane Curtain. This book does not seek to dramatize the events. All conversations and actions of Cuban authorities and the church occurred as written. The names of the police and Christians are real. Many pastors in Cuba are not cowards. After more than three decades of control, increasing numbers of Cuban Christians have no fear of reprisal. This is their story.
