Abstract: | An historical overview of the United Nations sustainable development initiative reflects a convergence of political and ethical
concerns, and a need to incorporate business and the ethics of business into an inclusive perspective. Underlying all of the
resolutions and recommendations ensuing from that initiative is the age-old question of “the one and the many,” with which
theology and philosophy have grappled for centuries, and sociology and politics in more recent times. Inherent to sustainable
development is a need to overcome that question, especially with respect to the power of the wealthier nations. Good old American
Pragmatism offers a solution which, at once, respects individual and communal sovereignty while positing a dynamic interaction
between the two. That interaction offers an optimistic approach to global business and to global business ethics. |
