Book Club – The Art of Fairness by David Bodanis

In The Art of Fairness, David Bodanis explores the surprising power of decency in environments where self-interest and short-termism often dominate. Through historical and contemporary examples, he shows how fairness, principled decision-making and moral courage can create lasting influence and stronger institutions.

For business leaders, the book offers a valuable perspective: that long-term stability and trust are built not only through strategy and numbers, but through character. In a commercial world that can sometimes feel transactional, Bodanis makes the case that fairness is not idealism — it’s strength.

If you’re looking for a book that is intelligent, practical and sparks discussion, The Art of Fairness is well worth adding to your reading list.
