Description

This book discusses theories in economics and ethics to help the reader understand all points of view regarding the crossroads between economic systems and individual and social values. Covering microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, as well as many topics discussed in a university-level ethics course, Beyond Naïveté demonstrates how ethics and philosophy speak to economic questions and how economics addresses philosophical and ethical questions. Easily accessible to non-specialists, the book also provides numerous insights for specialists in economics, philosophical ethics, or both.
