Hill, Alexander.
Just Business: Christian Ethics for the Marketplace
Downers Grove, IL.: InterVarsity Press, 1997.
LIBRARY ETHICS & MORALITY
‘An ethical man is a Christian holding four aces.’ So said Mark Twain. But practicing  Christians, at least, want to be ethical in all areas of life and work—not just when they are holding four aces. To those faced with the many questions and quandaries of doing business with integrity, Alexander Hill offers a place to  begin. Hill carefully explores the foundational Christian concepts of holiness, justice and love. These keys to God’s character, he argues, are also the keys to Christian business ethics. Hill then shows how some common responses to  business ethics fall short of a fully Christian response. Finally, he turns to penetrating case studies on such pressing topics as employer-employee relations, discrimination and affirmative action, and environmental damage. JUST BUSINESS  is an excellent introduction to business ethics for student and a bracing refresher for men and women already in the marketplace.

Novak, Michael.
Business As A Calling-Work and the Examined Life
The Free Press, 1230 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10020.
LIBRARY CAREER, VOCATION, & WORK; MARKETPLACE THEOLOGY;ETHICS;
Business is routinely dismissed by its  critics as soulless, valueless, and rapacious, but Michael Novak argues that business not only creates social connections, lifts its participants out of poverty, and builds the foundation for democracy, but also can and must be morally  uplifting. It is a little-known fact that business executives are more religious than the population as a whole. Novak offers both a defense of their work and a coherent philosophy to guide their thinking. He presents their key moral  ideals, including the creation of wealth and jobs, the diversification of the body politic, and the creation of the idea of progress. He also shows how the moral risk of materialism can be countered by a cultivation of natural virtue.  (Source: New Books in Business Ethics http://www.luc.edu/depts/business/sbe/newbooks.htm)
