Parable of the Sadhu (HBR Bestseller)

by Bowen H. Mccoy

When does a group have responsibility for the well-being of an individual? And what are the differences between the ethics of the individual and the ethics of the corporation? Those are the questions Bowen McCoy wanted readers to explore in this HBR Classic, first published in September-October 1983. In 1982, McCoy spent several months hiking through Nepal. Midway through the difficult trek, he encountered an Indian holy man, or sadhu. Wearing little clothing and shivering in the bitter cold, he was barely alive. McCoy and the other travelers immediately wrapped him in warm clothing and gave him food and drink. A few members of the group broke off to help move the sadhu down toward a village two days' journey away, but they soon left him in order to continue their way up the slope. What happened to the sadhu? In his retrospective commentary, McCoy notes that he never learned the answer to that question. On the Himalayan slope, a collection of individuals was unprepared for a sudden dilemma. McCoy asks, how do organizations respond appropriately to ethical crises?

The Oatmeal Ark: Across Canada by Water

by Rory Maclean

The Oatmeal Ark weaves invention through true stories, stitches imaginary characters into real events. It is at once a history and a fiction. It tries to reach beyond our tradition of realistic literature, building on the strengths of Susanna Moodie, the Canadian Vegetable and the NFB documentary, and to reassert the older mythical dimensions of the land. In my writing I strive to cross the line beyond which fact becomes myth to find a truth that is made sharper in fiction. The Oatmeal Ark is a subjective, heartfelt look at Canada, its history and the courageous men and women of all nationalities who struggled -- and struggle still -- to build this country.

Hard Right Turn: The New Face of Neo-Conservatism in Canada

by Brooke Jeffrey

In Ontario, Mike Harris is leading his 'Common Sense' revolution. In Alberta, Ralph Klein has taken his right-wing Conservatives to new extremes. In Ottawa, Preston Manning and his Reformers are giving new meaning to the term Official Opposition. Despite their different political labels and regional perspectives, the leaders of the New Right have much in common, including a populist approach to politics and a passionate commitment to the same brand of neo-conservatism -- an ideology previously unknown in Canada and one that runs contrary to our traditional values and beliefs. Jeffrey argues these New Right gladiators are a new breed of politician. Less prepared for public office, they exhibit a dangerous combination of ignorance and zeal, refusing to let facts get in the way of their beliefs. Once in power, their populist mask disappears. Despite their attack on "special interests", they have close links with single-issue interest groups, including pro-life or anti-gun control organizations. And they all believe a government's primary purpose is to satisfy the narrow concerns of those who elected them. What led to their electoral success?

by Ivan Illich

A work of seminal importance, this book presents Ivan Illich's penetrating analysis of the industrial mode of production which characterises our contemporary world. The conviviality for which noted social philosopher Ivan Illich is arguing is one in which the individual's personal energies are under direct personal control and in which the use of tools is responsibly limited.
