More than idealistic pleas for virtue and self-sacrifice from business leaders, or blame and moral outrage directed at those who disappoint, the field of business ethics gains from approaches pioneered elsewhere in ethics and political philosophy. Indeed, while we took great care to design other institutions so that even bad people are incentivized to not do any wrong, we have largely organized businesses in a way that compels even good people to do wrong, or at least to abstain from doing much good. Such systemic pressures and incentives must be at the core of the study of ethics, if businesses are to become reliable allies in the social and environmental challenges of our time.
