Opis

The Ethics of the Market makes a distinctive contribution to the literature on the morality of the market by synthesizing the work of a number of liberal scholars into a systematic defence of the free market on ethical grounds. This defence addresses questions of social justice, the moral pre-requisites of a market economy, the nature of the needs that the market satisfies and the appropriate boundaries that should be placed around the operation of the market.

Recenzje

'Meadowcroft's erudite and compelling ethical defense of markets in The Ethics of the Market should be read widely - and taken to heart by all who do so.' - James Stacey Taylor, HEC Forum
