Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the stark contrast between American public and private morality, particularly in the realms of business and politics. The author argues that private morality in the US is characterized by kindness, selflessness, and adherence to ethical principles. Conversely, public morality is often marred by selfishness, greed, and disregard for the public good. The author traces the roots of this discrepancy to the shift from traditional feudal systems to modern notions of liberty and democracy, and discusses the challenges and opportunities presented by these conflicting ideals. The book delves into the ethics of trade, examining the tension between fair competition and the pursuit of excessive profits. It also analyzes the role of public opinion in shaping moral standards, emphasizing the need for a shared understanding of obligations and responsibilities among citizens. Ultimately, the book underscores the importance of reconciling private and public morality to create a more just and harmonious society.
