The product of decades of reflection on issues of authority, inequality, and injustice, this volume analyzes fluctuating moral beliefs and behavior in political and economic affairs at different points in history, from the early Middle Ages in England to the prospects for liberalism under twentieth-century Soviet socialism. The social sources of antisocial behavior; principles of social inequality; and the origins, enemies, and possibilities of rational discussion in public affairs-these are among the topics Moore considers as he seeks to uncover the historical causes of some accepted forms of morality and to assess their social consequences.The keynote essay examines how moral codes grew out of commercial practices in England from medieval times through the industrial revolution. Moore pays special attention to conceptions of honesty and the temptation to evade that inform the volume as a whole. In the other essays, he considers particular political issues, viewing "political" in its broadest sense as an unequal distribution of power and authority that carries a strong moral charge. Free of preaching and advocacy, his work offers a rare reasonable assessment of the morality of major social institutions over time. 410 0$aWilder House series in politics, history, and culture. 606 $aBusiness ethics$zEngland$xHistory 606 $aSocial ethics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBusiness ethics$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial ethics. 676 $a174/.4/0941 700 $aMoore$b Barrington$0244975 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910272349403321 996 $aMoral aspects of economic growth, and other essays$952039 997 $aUNINA
