It builds on the premise that public policy making is essentially a species of good decision making, as explained in the first volume. It shows that, because most developed countries function as market economies whose governments depend on taxation to pay for their services and because a large proportion of government revenue comes from well-regulated, responsible corporations, the quality of people?s lives is highly dependent upon good public policies, taxation and business ethics. The volume presents and examines ethical/moral problems arising in market economies since the first century BCE, including the first appearance of the business case for business ethics, fourteen arguments concerning the neglect of business ethics, business ethics issues for the 1990s and beyond, the loyal agent?s argument, advertising, the importance of trust, public opinion polling, public program evaluation, and a critique of the relatively new monster of super-capitalism. In addition, it deals with connections among the concepts of efficiency, morality, and rationality related to decision making in general and public policy making in particular. Finally, it explains relationships between outcomes measurement and performance indicators in general and performance-based management in public administration, the taxation of net wealth and financial transactions. 606 $aQuality of life 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aPublic policy 606 $aSocial responsibility of business 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X23000 606 $aBusiness Ethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14050 606 $aPublic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911060 606 $aCorporate Social Responsibility$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/526010 615 0$aQuality of life. 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aPublic policy. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business. 615 14$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aCorporate Social Responsibility. 676 $a306 700 $aMichalos$b Alex C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0265868 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910252693503321 996 $aHow Good Policies and Business Ethics Enhance Good Quality of Life$92523100 997 $aUNINA
