A value-based guide to good business based on the timeless lessons of the Talmud

Here is an accessible and timely guide to one of the most successful business philosophies in history–the Jewish way of doing business. Regarded by the Jews as a high authority, the Talmud is in fact a comprehensive manual for life, containing guidance for virtually every situation, including business and money matters, where our moral mettle is so often tested. With scandal rocking the business world, companies and individuals are seeking a new values-based code by which to do business and the Talmud is full of business lessons as applicable today as they were thousands of years ago. Larry Kahaner shows how businesspeople can apply this ethical wisdom to both their professional and personal lives–and find prosperity as well as a deeper sense of satisfaction.

Larry Kahaner (McLean, VA) is a former Washington staff correspondent for BusinessWeek, a reporter for Knight-Ridder newspapers, and a founding editor of Communications Daily. He is the author of seven books and has appeared on Larry King Live! and NPR.
