Ethics (Web Chapter)

Abstract

This is a chapter on ethics, that will be a supplementary part of my introductory corporate finance textbook. The chapter seeks to ask interesting questions and to provoke students. These questions asked have no clear answers and are generally not politically correct. The chapter can serve as the basis for a class session or as the basis for an entire class. The chapter is 'not' representative of the remainder of the book (freely readable online). However, I believe that the subject is important - and too often simply ignored by us finance professors - so this chapter will remain freely available.
