mostly about business issues but not entirely

Most of this book is about what businesses must do: how to avoid misleading advertising, overcharging customers, etc. But Levine does touch on a few issues relating to "everyday ethics", pointing out that: *One has no duty to answer uninvited phone calls (based on halachic precedent involving uninvited visitors). But your voice mail or answering machine should not promise to return messages unless you actually plan to return them. *One can deter burglars by placing a large dog dish in front of a house or posting stickers for a nonexistent burglar alarm company- but a "Bad Dog" sign goes too far by deterring harmless visitors as well as dangerous ones. *If a acquaintance asks you for a ride, you should give it to him if you don't lose anything thereby (e.g. by having to go out of your way). One possible weakness: Levine occasionally discusses government's duties (e.g. in his discussion of medical research). But how relevant is Jewish law to secular society?
