Opis

Drawing on Aristotle, Kant, Hume, and others, this book conceptualizes the analysis of ethics and economic and social structures. The book first considers the key philosophical underpinnings and categories which frame the discussion of ethics in economic theory and then considers individual ethics, social action, financial structures, and war.
