The primary aim of the text is to introduce the reader to the
relationship between economics and ethics and to the application of
economic ethics in the evaluation of the market. The reader will
gain insight into:
- The ethical and methodological strategy of economics and
criticism of the core assumptions that underpin the economic
defence of free market operation.
- The characteristics of different ethical theories
(utilitarianism, duty and rights ethics, justice and virtue ethics)
that can be used to evaluate the free market.
- How to apply economics in conjunction with ethical theories to
evaluate economic trends and policies that promote the free
operation of the market and are subject to public debate.
These insights will help to develop the reasoning and analytical
skills needed to criticize economic analysis as well as to apply
ethical concepts to moral issues in economic policy.
