Compassionate Capitalism

Business and Community in Medieval England

Beschreibung

The idea of corporate social responsibility may seem like a recent trend, but the previously unpublished historical documents on Cambridge's sophisticated urban property market reveal that businesses have been practicing what is sometimes referred to as compassionate capitalism for nearly a thousand years. This transdisciplinary study presents an invaluable contribution to our knowledge of the early phases of capitalism.
