I would not recomend the book.......2007-06-05
The author uses too many sophisticated words, therefore, the student won't remember much of the material that was just read. I would not recommend the book, it is not going to put any depth into the topic. Most of the time reading this book turned out to be worthless

Awful.......2006-10-17
This textbook, which we used in our MBA ethics class last semester, is unfit for use as a teaching tool. Velasquez is more proselyte than professor; he reverse-engineers his conclusions from political positions, and he ignores data that do not comport with his beliefs. Throughout the book, he displays an astounding misunderstanding of some basic, accepted principles of economics--including the law of supply! (p. 169-170).
The book is fairly well-written and uses current examples, so the student without a grounding in economics will probably find his explanations convincing.
Business Ethics: Concepts and Cases (5th Edition).......2005-07-21
I purchased this book for a college course next month. I have only just begun to read it. I cannot comment at this time.
There can be ethics in business.......2005-06-01
This was our text book for Antioch McGregor's Business program (not MBA).
The book is good - a bit dry - but under the direction of a really good professor (which we had) it can be a great tool.
I went into the class doubting the existence of true ethics in the corporate world -- and exited realizing it is there, but there can be a price to pay to use it.
If would suggest Parker Palmer's A Hidden Wholeness to read with this -- wish I'd had both of these while I was in the corporate world.
The book with show the ethical in doing business.......2002-11-13
This book will provide you with the ethic activities when doing business. You can learn from the various cases in this book that show you how good & bad to doing you business. Ethic its about do right or wrong that much depend from the social standard. From this book we can learn much enough how to threat your customers in the ethic way. In much case in this book will show you the unethical activities that doing by the company finally they have to face the lawsuit or crash down. Just read this book first before you serve your customer in ethic way.
Up to Date Ethical Situations.......2000-11-02
This book is very up to date on the ethics surounding business today. It thougholy explains the different theories and concepts of business ethics. I rate this book high on content, but low on context. This is a good book but is long and dry, this author repeats himself and does not always get to the point directly.

Book Description
With his witty and instructive book The Armchair Economist, Steven Landsburg won popularity and acclaim by using economics to illuminate the mysteries of daily life, and using daily life to illuminate the mysteries of economics.
Now Landsburg returns to address fundamental issues like fairness, tolerance, morality and justice—issues that are as important on the playground as they are in the marketplace. With the help of his daughter, Cayley, he contrasts the wisdom of parents with the wisdom of economists—not always to the credit of the latter.
How should we feel about taxes that redistribute income? Ask how parents feel about children who forcibly "redistribute" other children's toys. How should we respond to those who complain that their neighbors are too wealthy? Ask how parents respond when children complain that their siblings got too much cake. By insisting that fairness can't mean one thing for children and another for adults, Landsburg shows that the instincts of the parent have profound consequences for economic justice.
Along the way, Landsburg—with his customary sharp wit and challenging logic—pauses to reflect on an astonishing variety of issues in economic theory, the philosophy of parenting, the true nature of family values, and how to get the most out of life. He uses parent-child interactions to explain the economics of free trade and immigration, progressive taxation, minimum wages, racial discrimination, and the role of money. He makes the best possible philosophical cases for and against progressive taxation, and weighs them against the wisdom of the playground. He explains why children are a good thing, and why economic theory tells us we don't have enough of them. He meditates on the role of authority in our lives, the effects of cultural bias, and why it's important to read poetry to your children. This lively and entertaining book will inform and delight readers who have forgotten the human side of the dismal science.
Customer Reviews:
how not to think.......2006-02-06
This book is a faithful documentation of what it is like for a loving father, who happens to be an economist, raises his daughter. He talks about instilling a sense of justice in a child, while implanting his own biases in a new generation. The oversimplification of grand issues makes it easy to nit-pick his statements, but I find myself captivated by the progress of his thougths anyhow. Written in the tone of his much beloved lunch conversations, I feel like I have eaten lunch with Landsberg each day for a month. His has a wonderful writing style and I would recomend this book to any economist who either teaches or has children -- it will help translate ideas to the laity.
Overrated.......2002-09-05
I probably would have liked this book better had the author not adopted such a smug attitude of moral and intellectual superiority. I also feel sorry for his daughter if he truly interacts with her as he claims.
Economic enlightenment for the layperson, with flaws.......2002-03-19
I agree that "Fair Play" is an entertaining read, and generally somewhat worthwhile; although you'd do better to read Robert Kiyosaki's financial books. "Fair Play" approaches a subject we Americans are grossly under-educated in from a plain-english, down-to-earth perspective. Nearly everyone can stand to be enlightened by this book. The author does have his faults, however; and they usually stem from his desire to force-feed economic theory, at the expense of all other logic, into every area of sociology. At one point, he tries to adjudge the number of forests to be saved by their price of admission!?? At another point, he starts off with a discussion of our responsibility to future generations, and somehow arrives at the idea that even un-conceived humans should have legal rights. Chapter 13, in which he takes a stab at explaining away environmental issues using pure economic theory, contains so many single-minded leaps of logic that it actually discredits the author, and the book. Thank goodness economists are not the caretakers of our environment, or the earth would be paved over, and unlivable!
Chapter 9 on the "perfect tax," which disgusted a previous reviewer, I found to be a sarcastic exercise in futility. I found it somewhat amusing and illustrative. I don't think Landsburg was being serious, because a truly serious discussion of the "perfect tax" would have to include the concept of consumption taxes.
On the positive side, of which there is plenty, here is a quick example of the kind of economic enlightenment this book can provide: "$1,000 invested seventy years ago would be worth about $13,000 today if invested in bonds, or about $850,000 if invested in stocks." And paraphrasing: bondholding is 25 times more conservative than any other type of risk-related behavior... this "is a paradox that economists call the equity premium puzzle." Again, on balance, an admirable, though flawed, attempt at delivering economic knowledge to the layperson.
A different perspective on Economics.......2001-09-04
Much of this book will make you say "Hmmmm... I never thought about it like that. He does have a point."
Chapter 17: "The Arithmetic of Conservation" was particularly enlightening.
Although some of Landsburg's analysis is great, I only give him 3 stars because much of the book contains a contradiction - Landsburg claims that there is no right and wrong - no good or bad, but at the same time, he is advocating a system! For an economist of this caliber, I was disgusted with Chapter 9: "The Perfect Tax".
best book ever written on economics and everyday life.......2001-04-09
Numerous books have been written on applying economics to everyday life, but Steve Landsburg's latest book employs a paradigm that puts it head and shoulders above the rest. His interactions with his daughter Cayley put a fascinating spin on things as her experiences and actions are filtered through the eyes of an economist. Landsburg points out again and again how we hold adults to a different, and lower, standard than we hold children, how we tell things to other adults that we would never say to a child and that adults accept excuses and reasoning from other adults that we would never accept from children.
Landsburg sometimes departs from the father-daughter paradigm to discuss issues that don't always fit in the with the rest of the book, but are fascinating none-the-less. Landsburg has a talent for making you think about an issue in novel ways. His analysis of minimum wage laws is clever and principled and nothing like you've ever heard before. Landsburg sheds the same critical light on everything from affirmative action to the rights of the unconceived.
But this is more than a book about economics. It's about what principles we want to use to guide our lives. It's about families. It's about a lot of other things too, but it's especially about fun. If you don't laugh out loud several times while reading this book, you need to have your head examined. Only the most determined curmudgeon could read this without cracking a smile at least once.

Great ethics book - for more than engineers.......2002-04-01
This book is designed for engineers, but the book can apply to more than an engineer. I have taken an ethics course from two of the authors of this book. The cases presented in this book apply to real world situations(some altered slightly), not just some clearly fictional situations. There are many fundamental tools that help you determine the type of situation you are dealing with -- ex. moral, factual, conceptual. Afer the problem is determined there are tools to help you make decisions, such as creative middle ways. The author does not make you adhere to their ethics, but a general ethical standard. Overall, this book provides very good ways to determine and solve issues; case studies are also provided to give you an opportunity to "test" yourself.
Lively as ethics can be.......2002-01-19
This book is readable and yet comprehensive. It covers the key issues in a way that engages the reader - usually starting with a case and illustrating key points throughout with reference to cases and other "real world" matters. The accompanying CD has lots of additional cases as well as codes and other reference material.
