Economics, Ethics and the Market: Introduction and Applications: Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy

Autor Johan J. Graafland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 iun 2009
The primary aim of the text is to introduce the reader to the relationship between economics and ethics and to the application of economic ethics in the evaluation of the market. The reader will gain insight into:
  • The ethical and methodological strategy of economics and criticism of the core assumptions that underpin the economic defence of free market operation.
  • The characteristics of different ethical theories (utilitarianism, duty and rights ethics, justice and virtue ethics) that can be used to evaluate the free market.
  • How to apply economics in conjunction with ethical theories to evaluate economic trends and policies that promote the free operation of the market and are subject to public debate.
These insights will help to develop the reasoning and analytical skills needed to criticize economic analysis as well as to apply ethical concepts to moral issues in economic policy.
