Faith, Morals, and Money: What the Worlds Religions Tell Us About Ethics in the Marketplace (9780826413420): Edward Zinbarg: Books. Zinbarg calls his work moral bricolage. A bricoleur does maintenance with ready-to-hand tools and materials, often to stave off the costly intervention of specialists. Accordingly, a long-time bricoleur has gathered lots of odds and ends, on the chance that they will come in handy. With 35 years in management at Prudential behind him, Zinbarg has been on the job a long time, and his reflections are most interesting when, in the case studies in the book's third part, he puts his collection to use. By contrast, his review of religious traditions in part 2 is nothing special, his rationale in part 1 for bringing religion into the discussion of business is hardly surprising, and the fact that his advice in part 4 occupies only 20 pages is frustrating. Still, those convinced that business ethics is a matter of tinkering to keep an unchallenged system running smoothly will be pleased, and the musings of this experienced manager who is uncomfortable with the separation of ethics from economics should appeal to many nonexecutives, too.
