About this book
Speaking to University of California students in 1911, banker Frank B. Anderson asks how youthful ideals can survive contact with business. His lecture argues that fair dealing provides the trust on which ordinary transactions depend. He also challenges the picture of commercial life offered by sensational newspapers, warning that repeated accounts of misconduct can distort public judgment.
Anderson carries this argument into a defense of corporations against sweeping accusations. He urges careful distinctions between individual wrongdoing and the conduct of businesses as a whole, then considers how public standards change while established business methods resist adjustment. The result is a pointed statement of business ethics from a bank president addressing a university audience.
