Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 6 page paper assessing the morality of corporate growth. There is a contingent of society that persists in holding to the view of the “evil corporation,” that entity that grows unchecked to the point that it is able to take over nearly anything it wants: markets, local governments, the hearts of politicians. The question to be considered here is if there a moral case against companies becoming as large and powerful as their markets allow them to be. The paper uses Wal-Mart and the philosophies of Kant and Mill to conclude that there is no moral case against increased size alone, that intent is of greater issue. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
