Business Ethics and Catholic Social Thought provides a new and
wide-ranging account of these two ostensibly divergent fields.
Focusing on the agency of the business person and the interests of
firms, this volume outlines fundamental issues confronting moral
leaders and corporations committed to responsible business
practices.
In this engaging and thought-provoking new work, Andrew Yuengert
uses the moral philosophy of Thomas Aquinas to offer a fresh
perspective on the sharp distinctions currently drawn between
economics and ethics. In contract to modern philosophical
approaches, which focus on the contrast between is and ought
statements, a Thomistic analysis begins with the actions of
economic researchers. This approach reconciles two popular extreme
positions: economics as ethical at every turn, and economics as
morally neutral. Exploring recent controversies over the role of
ethics in economics, The Boundaries of Technique encourages
scholars and students to discover and debate the ways in which
economics is insulated from ethics, and the ways in which it is
dependent upon it. Ultimately, by bringing readers to a deeper
awareness of the intrinsic involvement of the individual and the
responsibility of moral choice, Yuengert makes an invaluable
contriubtion to the study and practice of economics.
