The Man of Business

In this thought-provoking book, James Waddel Alexander examines the role of the 'man of business' in 19th century America. Drawing on his own experience as a lawyer and businessman, as well as the insights of contemporary thinkers, he provides a compelling analysis of the virtues and vices of commerce, and the relationship between business, ethics, and social responsibility. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American business and the ethical foundations of capitalist society.
