Thank you very much for having me. Its a real treat and feedback even if only virtually at fordham. Many years ago in a fit of youthful idealism as dave mentioned i got a phd in philosophy and that was great and my father was always terrific and said will never have to worry about a job because they just opened a bunch of philosophy factories by the interstate and you will be fine. I was very lucky to get a post doctorate at wharton and have always taught in Business Schools but i want to recapture today, if i can, that sense of optimism and idealism in the shadows of this awful pandemic and the really devastation that has occurred in the world and in many communities. I still remain incredibly optimistic that we will find our way out of it that we will find our way to Racial Justice and that we will build a better world which is what all of us, i think, would like to do. I want to focus on the debate which exists about ethics and capitalism. There is an old story about business that i

This is the beginning of patrick jones. From this time on, his life will be a constant conflict. Necessity, and duty opposing dreams and distractions. These conflicts exist in every human being and we must to learn to do with them. It 10 years later, he is still immature and in thought and action. He can raise more hell than any kid on the block. He has plenty of fun, some of it not in accord with adult ideas of peace and quiet, but all in the routine of a boyhood. Anyakes him feel not in spirit of meanness, but because the old man represents authority and discipline. Yes, over the years dad has learned that firecracker shooting must be restrained at times and this will hurt bad more than it hurts pat. As patrick grows older he finds it pleasant to have people make a fuss over him like the time when he won first prize or when he hurt his knee in the championship Football Game and covered himself with glory. Everybody made over and waited on him. He was the fourstar local hero and he lo
It is 1626 on the new england coast, there are several new settlements. It is a Small Community numbering scarcely more than 30 people. Robert grant is a fisherman and he built this bark wigwam with albert sims and jason conway. There are few women. The beds are hung up like this every morning, but the fire dying out is a rare occurrence. Fox dugout nearby, morning tasks are underway.

Now, jason has laid the new fire and must borrow alive ember to light it. Here he is at the fox place. The settlers shared dangers together and they gladly shared conflicts as well. How was master robert today . There was little change. The fever has not left him these many days. One day when you are well again, you can hunt deer with jason. The fireplace doesnt always give adequate heat especially when theres sickness in the house, sicknes
