Akrivou, K. & Sison, A. J. (2016). The Challenges of Capitalism for Virtue Ethics and the Common Good; Inter-disciplinary Perspectives. London: E. Elgar.
This newly published interdisciplinary book is a collection of work by prominent academics in the field from various academic fields in the humanities and the social sciences, on the evolution of modern capitalist society, and its increasingly undeniable and consistent tension between pure economic and ethical ways of valuing and acting for persons, communities and organisations/businesses in the economy. This cross-disciplinary book challenges the assumptions of capitalist business and society. It ultimately reflects on how to restore benevolence, collaboration, wisdom and various forms of virtuous deliberation amongst all those who take part in the common good, drawing inspiration from European pre modern, medieval and modern history and continental philosophical traditions on virtue starting from Aristotle's works.
