Conclusion. 330 $aThis book combines elements of economic and business history to study business ethics from antiquity to the nineteenth century. This book begins with so-called primitive people, showing how humans began to exchange goods and commodities from trade as a way to keep peace and prosper. The ancients considered the value and ethics of business, and many of their reflections influenced medieval Catholic thinkers and business participants. Protestants elevated working and profit-making to the respectable and virtuous, and some groups, such as Quakers, came to exemplify good business ethics. This book draws on the work of economists and historians to highlight the importance of changing technologies, religious beliefs, and cultural attitudes, showing that what is considered ethical differs across time and place. 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aBusiness Ethics 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 676 $a174.4 676 $a330.9 700 $aSurdam$b David George$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0990568 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373878303321 996 $aBusiness Ethics from Antiquity to the 19th Century$92266181 997 $aUNINA
