Abstract

This paper assesses the quality of Integrative Social Contracts Theory (ISCT) as a social contract argument. It proceeds on a comparative analysis of the use of the social contract model as a theory of political authority and as a theory of social justice. Building on this comparison, it then develops four criteria for any future contractarian theory of business ethics (CBE).
