Rules of professional ethics are connected with the social role ascribed to people realising the given occupation. Professional ethics is often taking on the form of a code of professional ethic, that describes the socially accepted ideal.Professional ethics and businnes ethics are extensive and in our times vital phenomena of circumstantial ethics and their relation in a triangle: morality, economical life, politics. The moral norms mark out how you should act towards other people and towards yourself. The difference between moral norms and the law norms lies in dissimilarity of consequences, that every individual has to suffer in the case of breaking any of these rules. Every ethics, general or professional, is a set of rules which is an ethical behaviour. That is closely connected with the system of punishment and award in which people live.

This book introduces a study of ethics and values to develop a deeper understanding of markets, business, and economic life. Its distinctive feature is its thorough integration across personal and institutional perspectives; across applied ethics and political philosophy; and across philosophy, business, and economics.

The material is user-friendly, with an emphasis on a strong theoretical core. Easily adaptable to the instructor's teaching, the chapters are separable and can be shaped to the interests of the instructor with suggested course outlines and flexible application to case studies. This text is designed both for coursework in business ethics, as well as interdisciplinary programs in philosophy, politics, economics, and law.
