The Power of Ethics

The essential guide for ethical decision-making today, The Power of Ethics offers ethical decision-making not in a nebulous philosophical space, but at the point where the rubber meets the road (Michael Schur, producer and creator of The Good Place). It's not your imagination- we're living in a time of moral decline. Publicly, we're bombarded with reports of government leaders acting against the welfare of their constituents, companies prioritizing profits over health, safety, and our best interests, and technology posing risks to society with few or no repercussions for those responsible. Personally, we may be conflicted about how much privacy to afford our children on the internet, how to make informed choices about our purchases and the companies we buy from, or how to handle misconduct we witness at home and at work. How do we find a way forward? Today's ethical challenges are increasingly gray, often without a clear right or wrong solution, causing us to teeter on the edge of effective decision-making. With concentrated power structures, rapid advances in technology, and insufficient regulation to protect citizens and consumers, ethics are harder to understand than ever. But in The Power of Ethics, Susan Liautaud offers an accessible, deep, and compelling (James Manyika, Ceo, McKinsey Global Institute) look at how ethics can be used to create a sea change of positive.
