“What is the purpose of the economy? To answer this intriguing and fundamental question, this book provides a systematic approach to economic ethics and constructs a relationship between the economy and morality; it expounds theoretical and practical issues of economic philosophy along two dimensions: values and institutions.” “Economists, philosophers and scholars of social policy and the welfare state will all find this book of great interest – part of its appeal lying in its interdisciplinary approach to contemporary economic, political and social systems based on the synthesis of moral values.”–BOOK JACKET.
