Framing ethical perspectives
Business and commerce are at the heart of Western capitalist societies, and they play an ever-increasing role in quasi-capitalist societies, like China. Businesses – especially the tech giants – are becoming increasingly powerful as technologies proliferate and leaders acquire once-unimaginable levels of wealth and influence. Carnegie Council’s programs, events, and experts analyze these developments through an ethical lens and strive to create and highlight communities and programs with the capabilities to hold businesses and their leaders accountable for their actions.
