Business
“Relativity applies to physics, not ethics.” (Einstein) But where does this leave business?
Are some ways of making money inherently better or worse than others? Where do you draw the line and why? Confront issues such as discrimination, equality, sustainability and social responsibility. What are the pros and cons of capitalism, consumerism, modernity – and how do we manage these? What part does the legal system play in enshrining fair and ethical dealings? What happens when things go wrong? And was Einstein right when he said we should: "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomoprrow"?
