Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
American Business Values
Gerald F. Cavanagh · 2006
70/100
👍 Worth It
This is a serious, credentialed business ethics text from a scholar who's spent a career on the subject, and it's stuck around across six editions for a reason. It's dense and academic rather than a breezy read, but if you're wrestling with real ethical questions in business, the framework here is sound and durable.
