Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Business, Government, and Society, by Steiner and Steiner, tells the story of how forces in business, government and society shape our world. While current events move quickly over the surface of the subject matter, the underlying principles and relationships at its core lie undisturbed.. . The Twelfth edition of this popular textbook is equipped with new chapter opening stories and cases that reflect current concerns in a changing environment. The thorough blend of history and today�s events help students understand the entire context of forces at work in business, government, and society. A new emphasis on management issues and processes allows students to apply the principles they learn to real world situations. .

This book is a stain on an otherwise solid line-up from McGraw Hill (never mind the usurious prices they charge for their products).
While it raises interesting issues and perspectives on business' role in society, to what extent government is supposed to regulate business, and ethical dilemmas, there is so much overlap of concepts between chapters that it's hard to categorize the information. The lack of clear distinction between concepts makes this book like a mess of 19 chapters that spilled all over each other when they weren't supposed to. Many a time I've finished a chapter and thought to myself, "Didn't I just read a near carbon-copy of that in the previous chapter? Did I learn anything new from this chapter?"
Also, some of the "models" and "frameworks" the book uses to make sense of business-government-society interactions are so ridiculous and contrived. Many of the components tossed into these models seem arbitrarily categorized... as if they could fit into several other categories, as well.
What a piece of garbage this book is.

The book arrives in time and is in good quality. However, the price is considered too high.
