Summary

Business and Polity: Dynamics of a Changing Relationship follows a historical perspective in unravelling the relationship between business and politics and its evolution through the ages into the capitalist ethic and culture of modern times. The author undertakes a close study of three millennia of civilisation and analyses the events and circumstances that had significant influence on the business-polity dynamics and how these dynamics evolved within the political, economic and technological framework of each period.The strong rational and logical approach taken by the author reveals the links that our modern state of affairs has with the experiences of past civilisations-a knowledge that can potentially enhance our ability to make informed decisions to shape the global future.
