| Summary | "Creating Capital: Money-Making as an Aim in Business" by Frederick L. Lipman is a philosophical treatise, published in the early 20th century, that explores the moral implications of money-making in business. The book delves into the notion that the drive to accumulate wealth is ingrained in human nature and questions the ethics surrounding the pursuit of profits. As the book unfolds, it seeks to reconcile the desire for financial success with the social responsibilities that accompany it. In the text, Lipman argues that the pursuit of capital creation is beneficial not only to individuals but also to society as a whole. He emphasizes the importance of fiscal responsibility and the need for individuals to save and invest wisely, addressing the moral duties owed to family, community, and future generations. Through numerous examples and thoughtful analysis, Lipman contrasts the stereotypical image of the greedy capitalist with the ideal of a responsible money-maker who contributes positively to civilization by creating capital. Ultimately, he encourages readers to adopt a balanced approach to wealth accumulation—one that harmonizes the drive for financial success with ethical considerations and a commitment to service.
