#EthSys Insights is a video series where we have experts answer questions about ethical systems design. For our fifth installment, we had the honor of talking with Barry Schwartz, Professor of Social Theory and Social Action, Swarthmore College. Barry answered the following questions for us and we recorded his responses (the longest video is 96 seconds long):

  1. You write about practical wisdomwhat is a wise organization? & Will a wise organization be an ethical organization, and why?

  2. What advice do you have for leaders who want to cultivate a more ethical (and wiser) climate in their organizations?

  3. How has modern management philosophy undercut ethics in organizations?

The videos are embedded in order below. Our sincere thanks to Barry for sharing his time and knowledge.
