In particular, those who read and offered valuable comments on parts of the manuscript were Joe Kupfer, Russ Smith, Ric Thompson, and Sharon O'Hare. As always, Shirley Johnson provided excellent secretarial support. James Madison University supported my work on the manuscript with a summer research grant, an educational leave, and an Edna Shaeffer Humanist Award. Chapter 1 contains material originally published in "A Critique of Business Ethics," Business Ethics Quarterly, 1 (1991). Chapter 4 contains material originally published in "Work, Privacy, and Autonomy," Public Affairs Quarterly, 3 (1989). Chapter 5 contains material originally published in "Advertising and the Social Conditions of Autonomy," Business and Professional Ethics Journal, 8 (1989). Chapter 6 contains material originally published in "Speech, Conscience, and Work," Social Theory and Practice, 18 (1992). Chapter 7 contains material originally published in "Justice and Insider Trading," Journal of Applied Philosophy, 10 (1993). I am grateful for permission to use these articles.

Page 1 Introduction There is some reluctance on my part to tell people that I am writing a book on business ethics since I then have to endure the usual jokes, witticisms, and derisive comments about the subject matter. More troubling is the thinly veiled skepticism that some academic colleagues express about whether business ethics is a subject matter worthy of scholarly attention. Their concern seems to be that business ethics is little more than a bit of cleverly disguised moralizing. Other reactions are troubling in a different way. These come from people who are usually nonacademicians. They clap me on the back and utter words of encouragement, apparently heartened by what they assume is my aim of getting businesspeople to think and act more ethically. They seem to think that a little earnest moralizing is sorely needed in the business world.
