Markets, Politics, and Social Performance

James Post's Business and Society textbook series earned its place in university curricula by giving students a serious framework for thinking about corporate responsibility and stakeholder relationships. But a 1992 academic edition is three decades stale in a field that has been reshaped by climate risk, ESG investing, and social media accountability — meaning today's reader would spend as much time mentally updating the examples as absorbing the theory. Worth tracking down as historical background on how CSR discourse developed, but not the right starting point for someone who wants current, actionable guidance.
