In this thought-provoking book, \u003cem\u003eThe Morality of Business: A Profession for Human Wealthcare, \u003c\/em\u003eMachan argues that business, like medicine, enhances human life, and that it is indeed a thoroughly decent profession for people to choose to enter, in order to best serve the worthy goal of promoting all around prosperity. He goes beyond the utilitarian case, that business serves society quite well, to contend that caring for one's own economic well being is prudent, that enhancing the wealth of one's household is a proper objective, and to serve clients in the capacity of managing their wealth successfully is every bit as honorable as serving patients with their health needs. The result is a positive statement, in the tradition of Adam Smith and David Hume, addressing some of the most controversial topics of today, including job \"security,\" outsourcing, and government regulation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Machan's The Morality of Business is a valuable resource for both participants and observers of the business world. In an engaging and entertaining style Machan explains how the capitalist orientation is fundamentally ethical. Furthermore, he dissects the chief arguments used by free market adversaries and shows how they are flawed. His book will bolster capitalism's advocates and will encourage its critics to see it in a fresh light.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e- Barry A.
