Geopolitical Considerations behind the IT Consumerism

About this ebook
This book starts with the analysis of the "coltan business" in the Democratic Republic of Congo" and its humanitarian consequences, especially for civilians. However, this is not just a critique to the traditional, short-term, way to do business. The main idea is, in fact, to use those principles retrieved from the moral philosophy, such as the Kantian "moral imperative" also in the business world.
