图书描述

Why is television so awful? Why do drug companies hide unfavourable test results? Why do automakers market unsafe cars? Why is our environment poisoning us? Why do we brutalize farm animals? Why is our food so unhealthy? Why is political discourse so debased? Why are we working sixty-hour weeks?

Wade Rowland's new book Greed, Inc.: Why Corporations Rule Our World and How We Let it Happen places the blame for much of what ails contemporary society at the doorstep of a single institution - the modern publicly-traded business corporation.

In this landmark book, Rowland - one of Canada's leading literary non-fiction writers - shows how we have become an uncaring society because the corporate ethos that informs virtually everything in our culture is uniquely and implacably selfish. The corporation exists for one purpose only: to make a profit. And such an objective trumps all others. Nothing else matters.

Greed, Inc. traces the rise of the corporation from the Rationalist social engineering of the 18th century - as well as the parallel triumph of moral relativism, consumerism, enterprise culture and other dominant value systems of our time. It shows how a series of psychological and philosophical misconceptions institutionalized greed and self-serving behaviour as a good thing for society. Indeed the origins of corporate culture seem in retrospect so preposterous as to defy belief - and yet these misconceived values now dominate our lives. Because of these notions of selfishness, we have arrived at a time when we seem at odds with almost everything around us.

Greed, Inc. is a groundbreaking book in that it reveals the roots of this social discontent for the first time through the lens of moral philosophy. It provides a highly original analysis with which we can begin to truly understand the cultural and moral dilemma in which we find ourselves mired at the beginning of the 21st century.

Anybody who cares about our quality of life and the very survival of humanity will need to read this book.

这是一本爬格子的书,作者写的时候在爬格子,我读得也爬格子,观点有点陈旧,给不到新颖的观点。不过英文的写作技法真系不错(相对于我英文水平而言)而且作者治学严谨且负责任,引述都会加上标注。“穷极无聊”可以拿来虐待自己。
