(Reinterpreting the American Dream is a uniquely pragmatic...)
Reinterpreting the American Dream is a uniquely pragmatic book on ethics and religion in today's world. Primeaux uncovers the complexity of human nature, in all of its potential for evolution. Though written from a Catholic viewpoint, the book encourages openness in the search for truth, postulating that this quest is the ultimate meaning in life. In an approach that emphasizes honesty with respect for others, and pragmatism with an eye for growth, the author sets the stage for those individuals who want to escape from the 'disconnections of independence and the connections of dependence into the interconnections of interdependence.' A challenging read on a personal level, yet highly applicable to business ethics and the larger society, Reinterpreting the American Dream will be of interest to philosophers, sociologists, students of ethics and the general educated public.

A leading Catholic ethicist and teacher discusses the phenomenon of Bruce Springsteen and the moral core of his music. In a time when popular culture is under attack as a symptom if not actually the cause of national decay, Father Primeaux argues that Springsteen's work actually enhances and enriches our moral vision. The Boss is discussed, analyzed and ultimately applauded for the greatness of his art and the powerful conscience of his music.

Primeaux and Stieber clearly articulate that good ethics maximize profits. The authors show that in the long run business must operate within the value systems of a society. Those businesses that choose otherwise are bound to fail. This book is for graduate students as well as managers. Together, Primeaux and Stieber have collaborated on several articles for The Journal of Business Ethics, and have contributed a feature article to the forthcoming Blackwell's Dictionary of Business Ethics. "A book for managers who must understand the complexities of profit maximization. Writing in a straightforward, engaging style, Primeaux and Stieber throw new light on the mysteries of profit maximization." -John W. Slocum, Jr., Past President, American Academy of Management. "A very helpful perspective on which to base an ethics program for any business." -Steve Van, President, Redstone Hotels, Inc.

Today it has become a matter of urgency for business to retrieve its own ethics from philosophical, religious and legal theorists. This little book attempts to do just that. We assume a positive and optimistic view of business and of the men and women in business. The role of business has always been, and continues to be, that of enriching society by providing goods and services people need and want. Men and women in business want to do the right thing, and they want to pursue good ethics for themselves and for society as a whole. They know that good ethics is good business.
