Is Business a Game?

The article discusses several books "The Great Game of Business," by J. George Frederick, "Business Research and Statistics," by J. George Frederick and "Making Advertisements," by Roy S. Duratine. There is no doubt that the business game is played more honorably than it used to be. Sixty years ago writer Herbert Spencer, in his essay on "The Morals of Trade," wrote: "It has been said that the law of animal creation is 'Eat and be eaten'; and of our trading community it may be similarly said that its law is 'Cheat and be cheated.' A system of keen competition, carried on, as it is, without adequate moral restraint, is very much a system of commercial cannibalism."
