Ethics in Economics provides an introduction to the ethical systems that underpin economic debates. Jonathan B. Wight considers how outcomes, duties, and virtue work together in economic life to create wealth by addressing moral hazards and building trust.
"Two centuries after Adam Smith, ethics has been recognized as vital to economics. In this impressive book, Wight draws on sources that range from classical theorists to the very latest neuroscience in order to deftly integrate common moral concerns into an enhanced economics for the twenty-first century. This fast-paced read is a must for economists, policy analysts, and their students."
