ABSTRACT

One main topic is plain, everyday honesty. People in business, we are told solemnly, should not cheat, steal, lie, bribe, or take bribes. But nor should anyone else. Men and women do not acquire exemption from ordinary rules of personal behavior because of their work or job . Nor, however, do they cease to be human beings when appointed vice-president, city manager, or college dean. And there has always been a number of people who cheat, steal, lie, bribe, or take bribes. The problem is one of moral

values and moral education, of the individual, of the family, of the school. But there neither is a separate ethics for business, nor is one needed.
