About the Author
Felix R. Livingston is professor of economics and director of the Honorable Entrepreneurship Program at Flagler College.
At a time when so many are tempted to use the power of government
to achieve their personal ends, Felix Livingston’s fine new book is
an important reminder of the importance of keeping entrepreneurship
honorable. Livingston draws upon the full western tradition to
explain the logic and virtue of entrepreneurship that springs from
persons of character serving others through innovation.
*Gerald A Gunderson, Trinity College*
In this clever and insightful book, Livingston uses enlivening
stories and arguments from western philosophy to buttress the claim
that entrepreneurs can and should be ethical stalwarts, providing
meaning and virtue to society. This is an exciting new way to reach
business students. A flourishing society surely needs the wisdom in
this book.

to Moral Frameworks*
