Societies face many pressing challenges with serious consequences. Imbedded in these are pollution and climate change, poverty and income inequality, obesity and public health, and corruption and regulatory capture. This note presents a style of analyzing the economic, legal, and ethical implications of these challenges in their capacities as corporate fiduciaries and citizens.
The note provides a unifying framework by organizing leading modern social challenges into four "tragedies of the commons" and by developing the idea of a "capitalist's contract" that may help students consider how they, as future business leaders, will react to these catastrophes.
