      abstract = {"Merchants of Virtue is about the company Herman Miller  and a band of people who determined to make their company a  good global citizen. They end up answering one of the  critical questions of our time: Is sustainable business  sustainable? Can employees in global companies make great  products, take care of the environment, benefit society,  and make good money-all at the same time, good times and  bad? Merchants of Virtue tells this story from the point of  view of Murray and other people who made the changes. It  does not simply recount the story of a CEO who, by dint of  power, commanded a sea change in business. It instead tells  of researchers and designers and engineers and factory  bosses who made great things happen in back rooms and on  the factory floor. These people, across the ranks, joined  to advance a revolution. They reached new insights, recast  policies, changed behaviors, and redesigned management.  They also changed the people around them-and they can  change all of us"--},
