Praise for VALUES, PROSPERITY, AND THE TALMUD "The ancient wisdom of the Talmud is as relevant today as it was 1,500 years ago, and its advice about business?both tactical and ethical?is as applicable to our high-tech world as it was to their world of trading mules and buying olives."
??Alan M. Dershowitz
Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law
Harvard Law School

"For too long we?ve separated business from religion and in so doing we?ve thrown the baby out with the bath water. Can religion be both relevant and use the accumulated wealth of its wisdom to be of service to business? Yes! There is a gold mine in religion for business. Come savor some of the wonderful nuggets in this book."
??Martin Rutte
Coauthor, Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work
President, Livelihood

"Gaining perspective is essential to learning. Larry Kahaner provides the reader perspective from an ancient tradition that has a surprisingly modern relevance. This well-written and cogently organized book gives the reader access to the ethical foundations of the Judeo-Christian tradition, reminding us that business ethics is not the result of Enron, but a continuing concern about society and the human condition."
??Stuart C. Gilman
President, The Ethics Resource Center

"At a time of ethical crises and global uncertainty we need leaders who blend the best of business, psychology, and spirituality. Learn the lessons of values-based management from the ancient rabbis in this thoughtful, wise guidebook. Good is good, and evil is evil; the principles still apply today."
??Bob Rosen
CEO, Healthy Companies International and bestselling author of Global Literacies

"An interesting and useful prescription for modern behavior??personal and corporate??from a very old and, for many, unfamiliar source. The wisdom and ethical guidance of those early rabbis is as relevant today as it was fifteen centuries ago."
??Mike Birck
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tellabs
