内容説明

Noted economist Douglas Vickers reexamines the relationship between economics and moral philosophy. That relationship, once very strong, is again the subject of increasing attention and discussion both within and beyond the academy. Vickers reestablishes the substantial bridges between ethical philosophy and economics. He addresses three main issues: first, the historical means by which economics has consciously surrendered its original association with ethical categories and criteria; second, the need to articulate the appropriate thoughtforms and vocabulary of ethical theory; and third, the illustration of areas in economics where ethical awareness is desirable and should be allowed to exert influence. This work is a major analysis which will be of considerable interest to economists, the business community, government regulators, and all concerned with economic decisionmaking in modern society.

Introduction Economics in Ethical Perspective The Status of Economic and Ethical Theory Economics and the Dissolution of the Ethical Ideal Ethics and Ethical Judgments Economics as Value-Free Issues in Economic and Ethical Analysis The Economics and Ethics of Market Supply Utilitarianism and Market Demand Ethics and Economic Distribution Macroeconomics and Macromorality References Index
