Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams and the Guardian newspaper's economics editor, Larry Elliott have launched a new book examining the role of morality and ethics in business.
The book, Crisis and Recovery: Ethics, Economics and Justice, published by Palgrave Macmillan, brings together a collection of leading commentators on current economic issues and casts a critical eye on the way money shapes society.
The official launch took place at the British Library on Tuesday last and was broadcast live on the internet. It was also followed on iPhone, BlackBerry, or PS3 on the Livestation website (http://mobile.livestation.com/).
Interactivity was facilitated for questions from around the globe. Those which received the most votes on the Reddit thread (http://www.reddit.com/r/intelligencesquared/comments/d1rqk/ask_rowan_wil...) were posed directly to the panel. The thread was open for two days
Discussion and input on Twitter can be tracked on the #iq2crisis hashtag.
The editors were joined by contributors Zac Goldsmith MP, editor of The Ecologist and Robert Skidelsky, professor of political economy, politician and historian, for a discussion of the book's themes, chaired by Madeleine Bunting.
