Abstract:
Main description: Zone Morality describes systems – families and businesses – created by the causal reciprocities of their members. These relations embody the duties and permissions of a system’s moral code. We move easily among core systems, though interests and moral demands may vary. Procedural democracy promises equity to people or systems having diverse interests when society fails to create a public that governs for the common interest.
