Opis

In Ethics, Economics, and Politics Ian Little returns to offer a new defence of a rule-based utilitarianism as a basis for assessing the role of the State. Lucidly and elegantly he explains how the three disciplines of philosophy, economics and politics can be integrated to provide guidance on issues of public policy.

Recenzje

The reader is introduced to the classics of the PPE literature of the past fifty years ... Little comes across as an eminently sensible economist, a person of experience and sound judgement.
