From the English edition of Der Spiegel.
Good article, fleshing out all points of view. More in-depth than most other articles I've seen on this.

Saw this article on Wired - the main point -
Twenty-five investment groups, representing about $21 billion in assets in the United States, Europe and Australia, are signatories to a "joint investor statement on freedom of expression and the internet," an initiative spearheaded by the media watchdog Reporters Without Borders. While normally this would be Catallaxis's beat (Daniel O'Connor) I thought I would point to it, as this is an example of an "integrated framework". In this case, stockholders (and theoretically, the officers of a company express stockholders will) wish to invest in companies that have a balanced attitude, that produce profits AND also respect human rights. Since I believe there are some studies that show that companies that have these type of values tend to have less corruption, better value over time, it can make financial sense, as well as moral sense. |
