Most Americans still do not understand electric utilities, and many consumers have only a vague grasp of the intricacies of regulation and deregulation. This is a paradox of sorts; regulation, in particular, seems easy enough to grasp. The real difficulty lies in understanding how power companies have manipulated the regulators. If you think utility deregulation has done away with electric utility monopolies, think again! Deregulation is a mythits business as usual for the power companies. For most of America, utility deregulation has yet to become a reality. Even if it does, electric companies will still swindle those they serve. Why? One reason: deregulation allows the utility giants to retain control of the transmission and distribution of electricity. Utility cheating has gone unchecked for more than a century. Author Joe Seeber has caught the electric companies red-handed, from fudged financials and courtroom trickery to meter manipulation and outright fraud. He paints a compelling portrait of an industry wired for greedand argues that its time someone pulled the plug.

While many courses using this title place emphasis on applying classical philosophical and ethical theory, this course's approach is decidedly interdisciplinary and practical. It is not designed as a socio-humanistic elective, a service philosophy course, or even an applied philosophical ethics course but as a laboratory, skills-based course where students develop, practice, and refine decision-making and problem-solving strategies that they will carry with them into the world of business practice. Emphasis has been placed on responding to the four ethical themes identified by the AACSB ethics task force: Ethical Leadership, Ethical Decision-Making, Social Responsibility, and Corporate Governance. Modules include (1) theory building activities (responsibility, rights, virtue), (2) problem specification frameworks emphasizing socio-technical system building and analogies with design, (3) specific modules responding to AACSB ethics themes (moral ecologies, corporate social responsibility, corporate governance, and a history of the modern corporation) and (4) modules that provide the course with a capstone, integrative experience (Business Ethics Bowl, Social Impact Statement Reports, and Corporate Ethics Compliance Officer Reports).

Brilliantly lays out the bitter truth: that the American workplace is a dictatorship where workers have few, if any, rights." -Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed An expose of the shocking ways that companies invade employees' privacy and restrict their freedom. Is it legal for your employer to fire you for writing a letter to the editor? Or for putting the "wrong" candidate's bumper sticker on your car? If you answered no, prepare to be shocked. Americans assume that their basic rights, such as privacy and freedom of speech, remain in force when they go to work. But what if your boss checked your personal e-mail to see if you were really working over the weekend? Or fired you after discovering you had a disease? Workers' rights advocate Lewis Maltby shares dozens of stories of employees who have been fired or harassed unfairly-but legally. Consider: ?A man denied a job at a retail chain for failing a psychological test that probed his sex life, religious beliefs, even his bathroom habits ?A group of women at a storage company with no legal recourse after discovering a hidden camera installed by their manager in the women's restroom ?A longtime employee dismissed for having a beer after work, because his boss believed drinking was a sin Over the last twenty years, Maltby has heard hundreds of stories just like these. His expose will change the way you think about your workplace. Bosses abuse and take advantage of their employees every day and get away with it. If a worker steals a hundred dollars out of the cash register and gets caught, he will be criminally prosecuted and very possibly sent to prison. If an employer steals a hundred dollars in wages from a worker, or a hundred dollars from every worker in the company, there is virtually no chance of criminal prosecution. There is a silver lining, however. As Maltby shows, there are steps that we all can take to restore our rights in the workplace.

Leadership, Ethics, and their Circumstances is the tenth in the 10-volume series, Lynchburg College Symposium Readings, 3rd edition. Each volume presents primary texts organized around an interdisciplinary , liberal arts theme, such as social consequences of social stratification; science and human nature; and war, peace, and empire. The series has been developed by the Lynchburg College faculty for use in the Senior Symposium and the Lynchburg College Symposium Readings Program (SS/LCSR). While these programs are distinctive to Lynchburg College, the texts are used on other college campuses across the nation, as well as by readers interested in significant original texts on important topics. At any time in our lives, we may be called upon to serve as leaders in some capacity, or we might be required to be good followers, both integral roles of leadership. This volume provides opportunities for leaders to reflect upon leadership and its circumstances. The works selected for this volume will introduce the reader to many key thinkers' concepts of leadership, looking at leadership in many different contexts. The lives of several great leaders are included to examine various models of leadership, so that we might examine our own ideas and assumptions of leadership with the goals of shaping our own personal theories of leadership and reflecting upon the desired results of leadership. Readings from the ancient Greeks to modern writers, from the eastern and the western cultures, and in varied contexts of government, commerce, religions, social movements, or in war and peace, all assist and challenge us to consider the nature and implications of good or bad leadership.
