Restoring Responsibility : Ethics in Government, Business, and Healthcare


In this important collection of essays dennis thompson argues for a more robust conception of responsibility in public life than prevails in contemporary democracies. he suggest that we should stop thinking about public ethics so much in terms of individual vices such as selfishness or sexual misconduct and start thinking about it more in terms of institutional vices such as abuse of power and lack of accountability.
Among the questions thompson addresses are how can we hold officials in large organizations accountable for policies shaped by many different people? are advisers responsible for the consequences of the advice they give?
Combining theory and practice with many concrete examples and proposals for reform, these essays could be used in courses in applied ethics, legal process, political science, and political theory. they can be read with profit by professionals and by students in graduate schools of public policy, law, public health, medicine, journalism, management, and business.
