Classical Political Economy and the Power of Technology
This paper engages Adam Smith’s and Thorstein Veblen’s insights on technology’s ambivalent impact on society. While Adam Smith’s work is mostly perceived as an optimistic pre-industrial analysis of technology’s effects on economic growth, Thorstein Veblen is predominantly interpreted as technological determinist who sees socioeconomic institutions as recalcitrant to technology-induced modernization pressures. Contrary to such interpretations, thi…
Adam Smith, just commercial society and corporate social responsibility
This paper engages Adam Smith’s reflections concerning the moral and economic dimensions of business–society relations in the context of the Multinational Corporation (MNC).

This paper examines the fair trade movement, discusses …
The UN Global Compact and the Global Governance of Corporate Social Responsibility
In recent years, questions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) have developed into a global policy issue. Multinational corporations, as high-profile representatives of economic transnationalisation and globalisation, have come under ever closer scrutiny in regard to their actual development impact, especially in Third World countries. The UN Global Compact as an example for evolving "complex multilateralism on a global level" aims at solvin…
