Business: A Profession (1914)

by Ernest Poole and Louis D. Brandeis

Book Overview

Business: A Profession is a book written by Louis Dembitz Brandeis, an American lawyer and associate justice on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1916 to 1939. The book was first published in 1914 and explores the idea of business as a profession.Brandeis argues that business should be treated as a profession, just like law or medicine, and that those who engage in it should be held to the same ethical standards. He believes that business leaders should prioritize the interests of their customers, employees, and the public, rather than just their own profits.The book also discusses the role of government in regulating business and promoting competition. Brandeis advocates for antitrust laws and other regulations to prevent monopolies and ensure a level playing field for all businesses.Overall, Business: A Profession is a thought-provoking exploration of the ethical and social responsibilities of business leaders, as well as the role of government in promoting a healthy and fair business environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
