The paper attempts to provide a basis for exploring the continued relevance of Catholic social teaching to business ethics, by interpreting the historic development of a Catholic work ethic and the traditions of Catholic social teaching in light of contemporary discussions of economic globalization, notably those of Robert Reich and Peter Drucker. The paper argues that the Catholic work ethic and the Church's tradition of social teaching has evolved dynamically in response to the structural changes involved in the history of modern economic development, and thus is well poised to speak to the ethical challenges implicit in the advent of a knowledge-based society. In order to test this thesis, the author sketches an approach to the ethicalchallenge of corporate downsizing that he believes illustrates the continued relevance of Catholic social teaching to business ethics.

Medicare Costs

AbstractPaul Krugman, Robert Reich, and others see Medicare as a panacea. Krugman, for example, points out that average Medicare costs have grown only 400 percent while private insurance costs have grown 700 percent. Should the US move to Medicare for all? The case is not as clear as such statistics suggest.

The Uk

Flexibility, quality and competitiveness are all hallelujah words in current debate about national economic performance. The achievement of more flexibility or higher quality or greater competitiveness, it is said, will help the UK become a more successful economy. At the same time increased labour market flexibility and deregulation has been seen by UK governments since the early 1980s as a means of creating jobs and tackling unemployment. In following this line the UK government has looked to the North American example, and has suggested on numerous occasions that overregulation and inflexibility in most European countries' labour markets has worsened unemployment. While the record of enhanced labour market flexibility in boosting employment is not the focus of this article (for details of the debate, see Solow, 1998; Walwei, 1998), this job creation aspect of flexibility is important because it has coloured discussions of flexible forms of employment in the UK and has often led to our conflating flexibility with deregulation. As will be argued below, the evidence from Europe in fact suggests that the use of some forms of flexible employment are not incompatible with relatively high degrees of labour market regulation.“I do not know what the word ‘flexibility’ is. Rarely in international discourse has a word gone so directly from obscurity to meaninglessness without any intervening period of coherence. Some people when they talk about labour market flexibility are talking about the freedom of employers to fire workers, the freedom of employers to reduce wages. I tell you something. That kind of freedom is not going to lead to higher standards of living in any of our countries.” Robert Reich, speaking at the International Labour Organisation, 10 June, 1994.

American Economy

In this edited interview, psychologists Eric Greene and Nisha Gupta converse with filmmaker Jacob Kornbluth about his documentary film Inequality for All (2013), which is a passionate argument on behalf of the middle class. The film features Robert Reich—professor, best-selling author, and Clinton cabinet member—as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. The film is an intimate portrait of a man whose lifelong goal remains protecting those who are unable to protect themselves, as Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. In this dialogue with the film director, Kornbluth describes his personal socioeconomic background that inspired this project, his creative collaboration with Reich in attempt to evoke critical consciousness among the public about the truth of income inequality, and his vision of creating an emotionally intimate story that balances righteous despair and anger with a tone of political hope.
