[SydPhil] PhiloAgora, talk, Tomorrow, 11 June

Recipients of this list server  may be interested in a just-published book
In the Public Interest. It is on encouraging whistleblowing, to be discussed
tomorrow evening ( below) . The book draws on practices in Australia, the UK
and the US, documenting the considerable evidence that blowing the whistle
does stop wrongdoing. The practice faces many problems, including the wrath
that descends on the whistleblower, and the widespread belief that “dobbing”
is wrong. Governments world-wide are therefore increasingly adopting
programs to protect whistleblower from retaliation, as well as ensure that
action is taken on their disclosures.

 

The book argues that a high priority in the teaching of these protections
will lead to increased ethical behaviour in business and government. Also
that much additional research is needed.

 

An on-line copy can be purchased at the discount price of $18 through a
