Rezensionen

The Talmud, says Kahaner, is a "handbook for today's businessworld": a reminder of balance in a workaholic culture, a treatiseon personal responsibility and a call to charity in a society thatseems driven by greed. In this book, Kahaner mines the ancientwisdom of the Talmud for advice on how to prosper ? but to do soethically. He begins with discussions of the "spirituality ofmoney," claiming that wealth can be a positive force if it is usedwisely, and then argues that work is a holy act. Other chapterstake up various topical issues: treating workers fairly so thatthey will in turn do their work more productively; beingscrupulously honest in business dealings; recognizing thateducation is a lifelong process; and giving to charity. Kahanerdraws on contemporary business examples as well as ancient wisdomto demonstrate that "doing good" and "making good" often go hand inhand. (August. 8) (Publishers Weekly, June 30, 2003)
