Business Justice . . . An Oxymoron?


"Justice denied anywhere diminishes justice everywhere."

Martin Luther King Jr.
20th century American civil rights activist/clergy

Even in business?

It occurs to me that "justice" is not a term I often hear mentioned relative to business.

Ethics, fairness, occasionally even morals, but not justice.

Is there a difference or is justice not something that relates to business?

  1. i think it is a semantic difference, or at least i hope it is. i can't imagine a world where business people are not as concerned about justice as are non business people

  2. Here's one for you Katherine.

    Is there such a thing as non business people?

    I suppose those who inherit money and have absolutely no need to do anything other than spend it may be, but if so, what about the rest of us?
