Economics; Business ethics

Shortlisted for the Goldman Sachs / FT Business Book of the Year Award 2009

Stephen Green - current Chairman of HSBC and ordained priest - believes above all that our lives should be lived with integrity. And more than that- these beliefs should not be left at the boardroom door.

In Good Value, he argues that our businesses have a duty to society and explores how those of us who work in a profit-making workplace can combine our spiritual and ethical selves with our everyday work.

Examining money markets across the globe and through the ages in a fascinating study of history, politics, religion and economics, Stephen Green shows how financial progress shouldn't mean an end to ethics at work.

Reviews for Good Value: Choosing a Better Life in Business

Engaging and convincing The Times Offers a challenge to a financial elite that sold its soul for profit ... welcome and timely ... lucidly argued Spectator Business A heartfelt and humane defence of the globalising process ... cheering, even inspiring, to come across a prince of finance who tries so sincerely and so eloquently to heal the schism Independent There could hardly be a better moment for this book to be published Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
