Business ethics also addresses issues of social ethics and public policy. Under¬standing this viewpoint can start with the recognition that business institutions are human creations. The fact that businesses are human institutions means that humans cannot avoid responsibility for them. As the Enron case indicates, business institutions have a tremendous influence on many lives. We depend on business for our jobs, our food, our health care, our homes, our livelihoods. The public policy perspective invites us to step back from the actual practice of business to ask: "How should business be structured?" If we had it all to do over again, how would we arrange business institutions in our society? In this sense, public policy questions ask us to take the point of view of the citizen who is deciding how society—and business institutions are a part of society—ought to be organized and conducted.
