‘. . . a very interesting collection. . . . The book and the field of enquiry it represents merit the attention of the Australian profession – not least because economists in Australia exercise more influence and attract more overt hostility than anywhere else I know.’
– Geoffrey Brennan, Economic Record
‘. . . the interest of the subject matter ensures that the book will be widely read.’
– David Collard, Economic Journal
Does economic analysis need to incorporate a more rounded and ethical view of individuals? What is the ethical status of market capitalism? How should ethical and economic considerations be weighed together?
Market Capitalism and Moral Values brings together a distinguished group of academics, policy advisors and policy makers who provide detailed discussion of some of the key issues at the intersection of economics and ethics. These essays combine academic rigour and clarity of presentation in addressing some of the foundational questions concerning the morality of both of our economic system and our economic analysis.
