  • ""This book is intended as a supplementary text to any environmental ethics, business ethics, or business and society course and may also be used in a philosophy class studying unintended consequences. This book takes its title from J.R. Tolkien's admonition, "It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him." The author argues that unintended consequences are a kind of live dragon that we should seek to minimize but that we unwisely have tended to ignore."--[book cover]."
