Prophets, Profits, and PeaceThe Positive Role of Business in Promoting Religious Tolerance
“Tim Fort dares to examine the taboo relationship between religion and business, and he does so with care and rigor. After unearthing their inevitable and often ineffable relationship, he suggests that a more explicit connection would strengthen each as a constructive force in society.”—Joshua D. Margolis, Associate Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School “Tim Fort’s latest book insightfully proposes a new 3 Ps for the twenty-first century. He provides a compelling argument for religion’s increased role in business, drawing on such ethical precepts as meaningful dialogue, trust, international common good and reciprocity.”—Patrick E. Murphy, C. R. Smith Co-Director, Institute for Ethical Business Worldwide, Mendoza College of Business, University of Notre Dame “Once again, Tim Fort has written a book that is provocative, incisive, and compelling. Fort deftly relates globalization, religion, commerce, and world peace in ways that are long overdue. Both intellectually rigorous and accessible, Prophets, Profits, and Peace sets the stage beautifully for a discussion of how the world’s major institutions can address some of the most compelling challenges of our times.”—Steve Salbu, Dean and Stephen P. Zelnak, Jr. Chair, College of Management, Georgia Institute of Technology "Those who teach . . . courses in communitarian social theory, virtue-based ethics, religion, business and society, or peace studies will find [this book] very useful. . . . A well-crafted introduction to a small but growing area of scholarly research and a worthwhile acquisition for libraries that serve liberal arts programs hoping to integrate social and political philosophy, religion, and business.
