VANGELIS CHIOTIS

Opis

In economic philosophy, morality is usually seen as a constraint on self-interested maximisation and economic behaviour. The Morality of Economic Behaviour: Economics as Ethics argues that moral behaviour does not need to be exogenously encouraged or enforced because morality is a side effect of interactions between self-interested agents.
