Slutsåld

This book reformulates the central questions of ethics in economic thought. It reconsiders the purpose of economic activity, the ethical values of entrepreneurs, and the Aristotelian dilemma of differentiating between needs and desires to better understand the rise of consumerism. The book also examines cultural factors, the role of religion, and the significance of informal institutions, ultimately showing how less developed countries can increase opportunities for all of their citizens.

Rightly recognizing the conflict in the discipline of economics between supporters of increased mathematicization and abstraction, the authors posit and make a case for the ethical and policy-prescriptive dimension of economic thought... The book is extremely well-written, and while the ideas are incredibly complicated, it is also easy to understand. The book does an extremely good job of considering the contributions of mainstream, traditional, clearly economic thinkers, as well as sociologists, activists, and practitioners who are not normally considered as purely economic thinkers.
