Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics as the Basis, of Living Ethics: A Study in Scientific Social Philosophy A few words as to the origin and the drift of this book may be desired. Some six or eight years ago the writer, amid his bourgeois illusions, was caught for the first time by the alluring, the compelling quality of the great present-day questions centering about the socialistic movement. "Half-sick of shadows," aesthetic, literary, ethical, he had no wish to be duped by another will-o'-the-wisp, or to retraverse the phantoms of Plato's cave man. Gingerly at first, "letting I dare not wait upon I would," he at length found himself involved more and more. Finally he put forth, as strongly as he was able, into the theoretical confusion. Abandoning inferior guides he sought out the higher leaders. He therefore went to Marx, Engels, Kautsky, to Bochm-Bawerk, Mill, Clark, Fisher, Marshall, Hadley, Fetter and the like. After having absorbed more or less of poison from Marx, he would apply antidotes derived from Fisher or Marshall. Or having mounted with Fetter into the thinnish air of psychic values, he would next with Engels, Hyndman, or Spargo make a little excursion to the edges of the squalid hovels of the poor. Or after gliding for a time among the idealities of a Wordsworth, Greene, Caird, Vaughan, or Leo, he would seek refreshment in an antiseptic bath from the springs of a Prudhon, Bebel, Belfort Bax, Dietzgen, Blatchford, or would lull himself a while with the words of an "Appeal to Reason." The more he found himself inclining to socialistic philosophy, the more carefully he read vised with Clark, Bochm-Bawerk, Hadley and other modern orthodox leaders. The attempt was made to treat each guide with utter skepticism, to hear a Marx through a Boehm-Bawerk, a Clark through an Engels.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics as the Basis, of Living Ethics: A Study in Scientific Social Philosophy This book contains the writer's attempt to answer some of the questions which insistently forced themselves upon him. A number of his friends found some value for themselves in what he had written. He himself, assured that there were many others who were putting like questions in a like skep tical attitude, easily made himself believe that these pages might be of aid somewhere, even if they express no more than a kind of sympathy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this elegant critique, Amartya Sen argues that welfare economics can be enriched by paying more explicit attention to ethics, and that modern ethical studies can also benefit from a closer contact with economies. He argues further that even predictive and descriptive economics can be helped by making more room for welfare-economic considerations in the explanation of behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piderit explores the failures of mainstream economics and proposes an alternative grounded in natural law. His assessment is grounded in the Christian higher law tradition which assumes that objective standards known to human reason should govern society and individuals. This book demonstrates both the reasonableness of a distinguished ethical tradition and its capacity to address a wide range of ethical issues, economic as well as personal and social. Piderit emphasizes that natural law theory underlies the U.S. Constitution and informs Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish worship today.

Download or read book Good Ethics and Bad Choices written by Jennifer S. Blumenthal-Barby and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of how findings in behavioral economics challenge fundamental assumptions of medical ethics, integrating the latest research in both fields. Bioethicists have long argued for rational persuasion to help patients with medical decisions. But the findings of behavioral economics—popularized in Thaler and Sunstein’s Nudge and other books—show that arguments depending on rational thinking are unlikely to be successful and even that the idea of purely rational persuasion may be a fiction. In Good Ethics and Bad Choices, Jennifer Blumenthal-Barby examines how behavioral economics challenges some of the most fundamental tenets of medical ethics. She not only integrates the latest research from both fields but also provides examples of how physicians apply concepts of behavioral economics in practice. Blumenthal-Barby analyzes ethical issues raised by “nudging” patient decision making and argues that the practice can improve patient decisions, prevent harm, and perhaps enhance autonomy. She then offers a more detailed ethical analysis of further questions that arise, including whether nudging amounts to manipulation, to what extent and at what point these techniques should be used, when and how their use would be wrong, and whether transparency about their use is required. She provides a snapshot of nudging “in the weeds,” reporting on practices she observed in clinical settings including psychiatry, pediatric critical care, and oncology. Warning that there is no “single, simple account of the ethics of nudging,” Blumenthal-Barby offers a qualified defense, arguing that a nudge can be justified in part by the extent to which it makes patients better off.

Download or read book Economics and the Virtues written by Jennifer A. Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-07 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While ethics has been an integral part of economics since the days of Adam Smith (if not Aristotle), many modern economists dismiss ethical concerns in favor of increasing formal mathematical and computational methods. But recent financial crises in the real world have reignited discussions of the importance of ethics to economics, including growing calls for a new approach to incorporating moral philosophy in economic theory, practice, and policy. Ironically, it is the ethics of virtue advocated by Aristotle and Adam Smith that may lead to the most promising way to developing an economics that emphasizes the virtues, character, and judgment of the agents it models. In Economics and the Virtues, editors Jennifer A. Baker and Mark D. White have brought together fifteen leading scholars in economics and philosophy to offer fresh perspectives on integrating virtue into economics. The first section covers five major thinkers and schools in the virtue tradition, tracing historical connections and suggesting new areas of cooperation. The second section applies the ethics of virtue to modern economic theory, delving into its current practices and methodology to suggest areas for integration with moral philosophy. Finally, the third section addresses specific topics such as markets, profits, and justice in the context of virtue and vice, offering valuable applications of virtue to economics. With insights that are novel as well as rooted in time-tested ethical thought, Economics and the Virtues will be of interest to economists, philosophers, and other scholars in the social sciences and humanities, as well as professionals and policymakers in the fields of economics and finance, and makes an invaluable contribution to the ongoing discussion over the role of ethics in economics.
Download or read book The Ethics and Economics of the Basic Income Guarantee written by Karl Widerquist and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments in the US, the UK and other nations around the world routinely consider and, in some cases, experiment with reforms of their income support systems. The basic income guarantee, a universal unconditional income grant, has received increasing attention from scholars as an alternative to the kinds of reforms that have been implemented. This book explores the political, sociological, economic, and philosophical issues of the basic income guarantee. Tracing the history of the idea, from its origins in the late eighteenth century through its political vogue in the 1970s, when the Family Assistance Plan narrowly missed passage in the US Congress, it also examines the philosophical debate over the issue. The book is designed to foster a climate of ideas amongst those specifically interested in the income support policies and more widely for those concerned with public, welfare and labour economics. Its coverage will enable readers to obtain an in depth grounding in the topic, regardless of their position in the debate.
