# Business in History

Louis Galambos, holder of the Cary and Ann Maguire Chair in Ethics and American History at the John W. Kluge Center, discussed "Business in History." In light of Enron and other recent corporate scandals, there is a heightened awareness today of ethical business practices. In his lecture, Galambos places in historical perspective society's concern for business ethics, ranging from the early 20th century to the present day, sweeping through periods of prosperity and depression. He explains why Americans have been so concerned and yet have done so little about corporate accountability during the past century.
