1. On history, society, and the origins, the evolution, and the
context of business
This is a graded discussion forum set up for discussing the
historical, economic, and social context of business. Note that
the very idea of business, especially the notion of a for-profit
business that is operated to benefit its stakeholders, is a rather
recent phenomenon in human history.
2. On business, capitalism, competition, creative destruction,
innovation, and economic growth
Modern day capitalism has its roots in the industrial revolution
of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The innovations of the
industrial revolution were spurred by a profit motive and by
capitalistic competition. Capitalists looking out for their own
best interests were constantly seeking to find and implement
new ideas that would give them an advantage over their
competitors. Note that the very idea of business, especially the
notion of a for-profit business that is operated to benefit its
stakeholders, is a rather recent phenomenon in human history.
3. Business, society, and the coronavirus.
Based on the unique circumstances that we are facing due to the
corona virus at this time, this discussion board will focus on
business, society, and the coronavirus. There are a lot of
different issues to consider here, but here are a couple of links,
for some readings on the issues for us to consider as we start
the discussion:
