Wight provides an overview of the role that ethical considerations play in economic debates. Whereas much of the field tends to focus on welfare outcomes, Wight calls for a deeper examination of the origin and evolution of our moral norms. He argues that economic life relies on three interrelated ethical systems: outcome-based, duty- and rule-based, and virtue-based. Integrating contemporary theoretical and applied research on ethics within a historical framework, Wight provides a thorough and accessible outline of all three schools, explaining how they fit or contrast with the economic welfare model. The book then uses these conceptual underpinnings to examine a range of contemporary topics, such as the 2008 financial crisis, the moral limits to markets, the findings of experimental economics, and the nature of economic justice. Wight's analysis is guided by the innovative concept of ethical pluralism?the recognition that each system has appropriate applications, and that no one prevails. He makes the case that considering a wider moral framework, rather than concentrating on utility maximization, can lead to a richer understanding of human behavior and better policy decisions. An incisive overview in a blossoming area of interest within Economics, this book is ideal for undergraduates or uninitiated readers who seek an introduction to this topic. 606 $aEconomics -- Moral and ethical aspects 606 $aEconomics$xMoral and ethical aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aEconomics -- Moral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aEconomics$xMoral and ethical aspects 676 $a174/.4 700 $aWight$b Jonathan B.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01056760 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459891603321 996 $aEthics in Economics$92491370 997 $aUNINA
