necessarily a big government that is the solution. Confucian values can become embedded in business, and given the importance of good leadership and corporate social responsibility, having good governance in the business world is as important if not even more important than good government in the traditional political sense.
Some readers might find that the authors are almost too laudatory about Confucianism and the potential of China to be a world leader, but it is important to remember that the failures of Confucianism are frankly discussed in the "bonus chapter," and also that it helps to reframe global ethics, politics, and economics so that Western models are no longer hegemonic… Continue Reading...
