Library Journal
A timely study, this volume presents a compelling analysis of the ethical issues that accompany globalization and the rapid movement toward transnational commerce and mutually supporting politics. In 16 chapters and four segments, Schultz (Contemporary Issues in Ethics and Information Technology) carefully considers current problems, embedded injustices, popular subject theories, the future of social contracts, and the potential of a thoroughly IT-enabled global society. This academic study is essential reading for public policymakers, corporate managers, and social psychologists. Schultz offers a carefully considered array of philosophical approaches and a compelling directional guide for a new era.
