Books

The books section in our Knowledge Center is the space where we show the books that are being edited in the Humanism in Business Series at our publishers Palgrave Macmillan. Under the supervision of our sister organization, the Humanistic Management Network, this book series provides a platform on which we can collaborate with the wider research community and present cutting edge scholarly works on a more humanistic economy in printed volumes. In addition we occasionally display books in this section that are not part of the series but to which we have made contributions.

"Wealth consists in using things rather than in owning them; it is really the activity – that is, the use – of property that constitutes wealth." Aristoteles


"Everything has either a price or dignity. Whatever has a price can be replaced by something else which is equivalent; whatever, on the other hand, is above all price, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity." Immanuel Kant


"And this is common to all external things that they are good to the extent that they lead to virtue, but not in themselves." Thomas Aquinas


"The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the public is catching on." Warren Buffett


"A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business." Henry Ford
