• Middle Path Policymaking in the US and China | 3BL Media: A couple of years ago in anticipation of a Democratic White House and a new approach toward trade policy, I advocated a revised definition of "fair trade:" Adam Smith showed that economic freedom allows people to maximize their potential to the benefit of all society. But total freedom, as Thomas Hobbes argued, leads to a short and nasty life. The Aristotelian notion of moderation might help reconcile this paradox: Trade should be neither too free nor too regulated.

Several people have now been pointing us to a recent article in the New York Times on an Ethics Oath instigated at Harvard Business School.
• CSR for Smaller Business ? Getting Organised | 3BL Media: A few months back I decided to summarise Coethica?sexpe riences of supporting smaller business using CSR to help their bottom line.

Italy may be a ?democracy,? yet the PM holds a monopoly over Italian media (print, radio and TV), and has often been accused of unduly influencing elections (his own) and manipulating regulatory structures to suits his private business needs?

• Goleman's Ecological Intelligence Book Review | 3BL Media: In service of full disclosure, I'm starting with a positive bias toward the book. I always hear good things about Goleman's most famous books -- the Emotional Intelligence series, but I've not read any. More influential on creating my favorable bias is the almost shockingly parallel themes seemingly presented in Ecological Intelligence to those around which we conceived and designed ElegantRoots.c om, or ElegRoo as we affectionately call it.
• GoodB Newsletter | 3BL Media: Most traditional business people cringe when they see the words "caring&q uot; and "economic s" next to each other in the same sentence, let alone on the cover of a powerful book.Yet the sheer depth of insight behind this book and its scholarly author, Riane Eisler, forces readers to take a second look.
