The book is an outcome of the symposium on ?The Ethics of Consumption? organised and hosted by the Las Casas Institute at the Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford as part of its Economics as a Moral Science Programme. It takes on two contemporary problems: the human weakness and capacity for wrong-doing, and the failure of modern economic theory to account for the moral character of human behaviour and its implicit encouragement of gluttonous life-styles. In a time when grand political schemes are proposed to revive sustainability of global economy, the authors of the papers collected in this book highlight the need for moral renewal without which the most revolutionary structural reforms are bound to fail at producing the desired outcome. Topics of the book include the meaning and sources of avarice, the attempt to define what is enough, exploration of philosophical and theological perspectives which can serve as building blocks for the ethics of consumption. This makes the book of great interest to a broad readership of economists, social scientists and philosophers. 410 0$aVirtues and Economics,$x2520-1808 ;$v8 606 $aBusiness ethics 606 $aEconomics 606 $aCulture 606 $aPhilosophy 606 $aBusiness Ethics 606 $aCultural Economics 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aBusiness ethics. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aPhilosophy. 615 14$aBusiness Ethics. 615 24$aCultural Economics. 615 24$aPhilosophy. 676 $a174.4 700 $aRóna$b Péter$01363581 701 $aZsolnai$b László$0149406 701 $aWincewicz-Price$b Agnieszka$01726628 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838288003321 996 $aHomo Curator: Towards the Ethics of Consumption$94268311 997 $aUNINA
