The Talmud, says Kahaner, is a "handbook for today's businessworld": a reminder of balance in a workaholic culture, a treatiseon personal responsibility and a call to charity in a society thatseems driven by greed. In this book, Kahaner mines the ancientwisdom of the Talmud for advice on how to prosper ? but to do soethically. He begins with discussions of the "spirituality ofmoney," claiming that wealth can be a positive force if it is usedwisely, and then argues that work is a holy act. Other chapterstake up various topical issues: treating workers fairly so thatthey will in turn do their work more productively; beingscrupulously honest in business dealings; recognizing thateducation is a lifelong process; and giving to charity. Kahanerdraws on contemporary business examples as well as ancient wisdomto demonstrate that "doing good" and "making good" often go hand inhand.
