Part 1. How business ethics is interpreted by the economics department

In this Part 1 of Assignment 5, six examples of economic systems are discussed. Each claims its validity on the argument that it is more a guarantor of security and fairness than the others. They are: Libertarianism, Free Enterprise, Free Markets, Capitalism, Socialism, and Communism. Then the debate on corporate social responsibility (CSR) is discussed. For your 700+ words:

Part 1 – A. Tell where you stand in the Friedman v. CSR debate. (The Friedman CSR view is the same as the post-depression model – He opposed the contemporary model. (This is the history of the problem) Do you agree with Friedman or not? Briefly state each and give your view.)

Part 1 – B. Tell which economic system you believe your CSR view best aligns with and explain why. (Here you must link your choice to one of the six economic systems given in the PPts. Properly done, this means that you would research an article that ties one of the economic systems to the Friedman debate. I did not ask for this because it takes a lot of time. But, you need to focus on the one and only one system that you believe aligns. Getting a source for more information on the economic system you believe applies would help.

Do not summarize my PPts regarding the other economic systems, and, actually you should not even base the summary of your choice on the PPts. I’m just telling you what to look for. You should base the summary on a researched description of the system.

Part 1 – C. Find an article or paper on CSR that you believe agrees with you, briefly outline its conclusion, and explain why you believe it supports your own view. (In 1-B you made a case for your view using an economic argument. To clinch where you stand you must next find an intellectual source, journal article preferred, that agrees with your interpretation of CSR. Once you find this, you conclude your paper with a brief outline of its view and make a concluding statement.
