Download or read book Economics and Ethics written by J. A. R. Marriott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Economics and Ethics: A Treatise on Wealth and Life The argument of this book is addressed to those who desire to order their daily lives, in the home, in the shop, in the factory, or on the farm, in conformity with the highest ethical standards, or, in more familiar words, to live according to the will of God; and to them only. They constitute, I hope, a large portion of mankind, but be that as it may, I know that there are at present among them many who are sorely perplexed in mind, and gravely disturbed in conscience, by the apparent contradiction between the precepts of Ethics and the laws of Economics. It is my earnest hope that in this book they may find some help towards the solution of their difficulties. Others, not thus troubled, will, I hope, find here an exposition, as simple as I can make it, of the leading principles of Economic Theory, as understood and ex pounded by the Classical Economists. But the book is distinguished from any other text-book known to me by the abundance of concrete illustrations, and by occasional excursions into the domain of Economic history. I have throughout attempted to utilize such knowledge as I possess of affairs, particularly of finance and industry, alike for the purpose of supporting the conclusions of Economic Theory by reference to the actual facts of business, and also in the hope of disarming the suspicion still entertained by 'practical' men of the merely theoretical Economist.

Download or read book A Short History of Ethics and Economics written by J. E. Alvey and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This is an important and timely work that addresses the moral crisis of contemporary economics. Alvey not only provides an excellent narrative of classical Greek economics, but his arguments are aimed at restoring the central role that ethics played in the long tradition of economic thought. This is an invaluable scholarly resource for academics and students of political economy as well as the history of political thought.' Benjamin Wong, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Arising from a disenchantment with mainstream economics a dissatisfaction that is widespread today A Short History of Economics and Ethics sketches the emergence and decline of the ethical tradition of economics and the crisis of modern economics. In doing so, James Alvey focuses on four of the leading ancient Greek thinkers: Socrates, Xenophon, Plato and Aristotle. The author uses insights from Amartya Sen's Capabilities approach as well as other sources to retrieve the ethical tradition of economics. Five aspects of this tradition which seem to lie outside of mainstream economics are identified: an ethical methodology; some notion of a just price; an understanding that ethical motivations are relevant to human action; a rich understanding of human well-being; and some notion of distributive justice related to human well-being. Creating a forum for further debate and research opportunity, this book will appeal to students, scholars and historians of economic thought, as well as to all those interested in the intersection of ethics with economics.

Download or read book A History of Homo Economicus written by William Dixon and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A key issue in economic discourse today is the relation (or lack of it) between economic behaviour and morality. Few (presumably) would want to deny that human beings are in some sense moral or ethical creatures, but the devil is in the detail. Should we think of economic behaviour as an essentially amoral process – a process adequately characterised by a means-ends rationality – into which any number of subjective ethical concerns or orientations may be intruded to give a particular action its determinate moral content? Or is it rather the case that our moral being runs deeper than this, in the sense that all of our behaviour – ‘economic’ or otherwise – is enabled or capacitated by a competence that is fundamentally ethical in character? With new analyses of the work of Hobbes and Smith, Dixon and Wilson offer a fresh approach to the debate surrounding economics and morality with a novel discussion of the self in economic theory. This book calls for a change in the way that the relation between economic behaviour and morality is understood – from an understanding of morality as a kind of preference that informs certain types of other-regarding behaviour (the way that modern economics understands the relationship), to an idea of morality as a competence that enables or, rather, conditions the possibility of all forms of human behaviour, other-regarding or not. Offering a new insight on homo economicus, this book will be of great interest to all those interested in the history of economics and of economic thought.
Download or read book Value in Ethics and Economics written by Elizabeth Anderson and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Anderson offers a new theory of value and rationality that rejects cost-benefit analysis in our social lives and in our ethical theories. This account of the plurality of values thus offers a new approach, beyond welfare economics and traditional theories of justice, for assessing the ethical limitations of the market. In this light, Anderson discusses several contemporary controversies involving the proper scope of the market, including commercial surrogate motherhood, privatization of public services, and the application of cost-benefit analysis to issues of environmental protection.

"Not everything is a commodity, insists Anderson, and her brief should shake up social science technocrats." DD--Philadelphia Inquirer "The book is rich in both argument and application." DD--Alan Hamlin, Times Higher Education Supplement "In this rich and insightful book Elizabeth Anderson develops an original account of value and rational action and then employs this account to address the pragmatic political question of what the proper range of the market should be. Anderson's principal targets are consequentialism, monism and the crude 'economistic' reasoning which underpins much contemporary social policy...This is an important book...For anyone interested in political philosophy this is essential reading."

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.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Philosophy and Political Economy in Some of Their Historical Relations Political economy, or the study Of the relation Of human society to its material wealth, and philosophy, or the study Of first principles and ultimate issues, have at various times exerted an influence on one another which the history Of economics and philosophy makes very evident. Economical facts and practice, the actual condition Of national industries, wealth, and trade, as distinguished from theories about them, have, no doubt, had a Still greater influence, both on economists and philosophers and to estimate this effect of practice on theory would be a larger and perhaps a more important inquiry. Some writers have regarded this second inquiry as almost superseding the other, on the ground that the supreme force in human history IS economical.l It is clear that we may at least go as far as Erdmann, who begins his chapters on Greek Philosophy with the remark that philosophy arises when the struggle for existence has given place to a life Of leisure.

Download or read book Industrial Day Dreams written by Samuel Edward Keeble and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Day-Dreams: Studies in Industrial Ethics and Economics No one has a deeper sense of the inadequacy of the present book as even a slight contribution to the direct solution of vexed social problems, than has the author. His only hope is that it may have some little indirect influence in stirring up those who have more ability and knowledge than he has, but who perhaps have not devoted much time to the considera tion of social questions. The appeal here made is to those whose interests are mainly religious. In many religious circles still there seems to be hardly any idea of the intimate connexion existing between religion and the industrial life of society. Much of the prevailing apathy and indifference would vanish at once if it were realized that their circles intersect. Earnest workers in the religious sphere are often so fully occupied that they lack the most elementary knowledge of the true nature of the problems involved or of the remedies suggested. It is hoped that some such workers will find here an introduction - for this is all it can offer - to the general subject of industrial ethics and economics. It is urgently necessary that the Christian Church as a whole should address herself to the social problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophical ethics consists in the human endeavour to answer rationally the fundamental question of how we should live. The Oxford Handbook of the History of Ethics explores the history of philosophical ethics in the western tradition from Homer until the present day. It provides a broad overview of the views of many of the main thinkers, schools, and periods, and includes in addition essays on topics such as autonomy and impartiality. The authors are international leaders in their field, and use their expertise and specialist knowledge to illuminate the relevance of their work to discussions in contemporary ethics. The essays are specially written for this volume, and in each case introduce the reader to the main lines of interpretation and criticism that have arisen in the professional history of philosophy over the past two or three decades.
