“Tom White’s illuminating monograph of a modern-day Socrates engaging in a dialogue with a crisis-ridden CEO is a great read and a wonderful tool for group discussion. Socrates leads the recalcitrant CEO through a variety of specific business ethics issues in an effort to get the corporate head to recognize the true purpose of business itself. Socrates Comes to Wall Street is both delightful and thought-provoking.”

“Tom White’s contemporary interpretation of Socrates in the executive suite is compelling. The dialogue is artfully written and insightful. Undergraduate and graduate students alike will find it valuable – and so will faculty who may be skeptical about the place of moral philosophy in a business school.”
