Doing Virtuous Business by Theodore Roosevelt Malloch
Malloch clearly presents the current arguments surrounding wealth and wealth creation, and asserts that the most profitable businesses significantly help our society by recreating work environments that promote integrity and religious liberty. Malloch includes anecdotes about multiple businesses and relevant literature to support his argument–which are quite illuminating…especially the companies that implement the principles that Malloch recommend.
One drawback about Doing Virtuous Business is that Malloch writes in a more scholarly fashion–a bit more dense than the usual, so although Malloch includes many good points defending “Virtuous Business,” I would only recommend this book to those who like reading academic texts. But, if anyone would like a quick summary of companies that exemplify certain virtues, like honesty, respect, and generosity, Malloch includes a very easy-to-read appendix at the end of his book that I would highly recommend! It’d probably be good to use for situations like job interviews!
