Features: The Bound Contract is a book written by two important thinkers in the field of business ethics, drawing on classical political philosophy and new social contract theory to propose a framework for ethical evaluation of economic and corporate behavior, which the authors call the comprehensive social contract theory (comprehensive contract theory). This approach aims to reconcile the "empirical" research and "normative" research in business ethics. The authors cite many actual disputes encountered by famous companies, from environmental protection, gender conflict, commercial bribery to host country relations, etc., to systematically explain and elaborate on their theory. Based on the principles of respect and tolerance, it inspiringly guides people into a new corporate social contract.
