    About this ebook

    From neo-classical economic theory which one should we choose? Should we say YEY or NEY? Where should we stand when determination of profit comes first before social responsibilities? Should we make sure that social responsibility comes first before profit? Shall we apply this philosophical theory of human community lack of moral agency, but have similar full moral status, as moral agency, and as a human being? Is the principle has a deeper justification?
