Keywords: Political divide, rationality, civil discourse, healing
Audience: (a) The general reader interested in politics and the underpinnings of what’s going on in the political world today. I suspect that readers of serious newspapers on both the Right and on the Left in many parts of the World (see (d) below) would quite enjoy this book, or at least some chapters. Perhaps more importantly, they might encounter something new, worthwhile and influential.
(b) Students and faculty in Business Schools & Colleges would surely appreciate much of the book, especially those on undergraduate or graduate level courses in Business & Society, Business-Ethics, Corporate Social Responsibility, Leadership, Marketing Ethics, Business Strategy, Strategic Management or (in some colleges) Business-Philosophy. As mentioned in earlier correspondence, I intend using several chapters in my own classes on Business Ethics and Leadership
(c) The same applies to a wide range of students and faculty in just about every one of the academic Social Sciences, including Economics (also Economic History), Politics & Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Philosophy & Religion, Feminist Studies and possibly also Law & Justice studies.
