'Brimming with fascinating historical details and economic insights, 'Between Ethics and Economics' develops a powerful case for a 'moral leeway' approach to business ethics. Professors Sandberg and Walsh build on a clear-eyed appraisal of markets' goods and harms to deliver a principled middle path, navigating deftly between the extremes of unrealistic moralism and pathological amorality.'
