A New Protestant Labor Ethic at Work

Work, Money & Leadership

“Estey brings to the fore perhaps the single most important fact of life at work, the inherent conflict of interest that permeates labor management relations and divides the working class from the capitalists. Looking into this class conflict with clear eyes and a sympathy for workers, Estey presents an important challenge to the usual Christian business ethics. In its place he formulates an ethic that lifts the dignity of workers, as well as work, to the center of our attention.”
