Rollert's research centers on the intellectual history of capitalism and the ethics of leadership, with pioneering work on Adam Smith's moral philosophy and political economy. His scholarship critically examines greed as a historical concept, empathy applications in business law, and the moral psychology underpinning organizational leadership.
His publications reveal consistent thematic threads across academic and popular outlets: historical critiques of capitalist ethics, reinterpretations of Adam Smith's legacy, and analyses of corporate responsibility through philosophical frameworks. Articles in The Atlantic and The New York Times demonstrate his ability to translate complex ethical theories into contemporary business discourse.
His recognition includes:
- 2017 Best in Business Award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers for The Atlantic article 'Greed Is Good'
As author of the 'In-House Ethicist' column for Chicago Booth Review, Rollert bridges academic theory and practical business ethics. While his teaching impacts numerous students through structured courses, the available documentation doesn't specify formal PhD advisees or externally funded research grants.
No laboratory affiliations or dedicated research teams are referenced in his professional profile, reflecting his focus on theoretical scholarship and classroom instruction within the Behavioral Science department.
