Competitor Sites!

On By southwerkIn business ethics, Capitalism, ethics, Philosophy of Business, White Collar Crime

I don’t have any. Anyone who fights for business ethics is my friend and ally, not my competitor. If you are out there and I can help you with my web site, you let me know. If you are more famous, more read, more educated, more experienced, more moneyed, more anything, – so much the better. Our chances for making a difference in a society where a philosophy of relativism and amorality have become the rule of business are improved by your success.

For it is written –

From the Bible – Luke 10:2 Therefore said he to them, The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few: pray you therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth laborers into his harvest.

From the Koran – And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful. {Qur’an: Chapter 3 (Aale-Imraan – Family of Imraan): Verse 104}

Whoever joins himself (to another) in a good cause shall have a share of it, and whoever joins himself (to another) in an evil cause shall have the responsibility of it, and Allah controls all things. {Qur’an: Chapter 4 (An-Nisa – The Women) : Verse 85}

I want more laborers, more warriors, more friends, more allies, more people with guts and talent, to fight and to make a difference. I call you to work in this field – to make your voice heard. I call upon you to do the impossible, to fight a hopeless battle against unimaginable odds – and I call upon you to win that battle. All successful struggles begin with one thought and one person eventually joined by one and then another. Slowly surely, the impossible becomes implausible, hopeless, ridiculous, unlikely, controversial, maybe, probably, inevitably, and finally: what is normal, expected and the law of the land.

Let us make a good start. Let’s make some racket. Let us be heard.
