Alienation in capitalist society
Journal of Business Ethics · 1988 · Volume 7 · Issue 9
Abstract
In a recent paper in this journal Charles B. Saunderset al.argue that corporations have no social responsibility regarding alienation in the workplace in that there is no significant degree of alienation in the workplace, at least in white collar and management level positions in corporate America.Contrary to Saunderset al., this paper defines the concept of alienation. Having done that, it proceeds to show that the argument Saunderset al.make flounders on logical grounds. I conclude that Saunderset al.provide no evidence for the claim that alienation is lacking (in any degree) in corporate America.
