Summary

The contributors toEconomics and Ethics?--social scientists from the fields of economics, philosophy, political science and anthropology--discuss the current state of the economics-ethics nexus by way of examining both past and contemporary practice. Presenting a wide variety of attitudes and perspectives, the volume assesses, among other things, the contemporary implications of the relationship between ethics and commercial society and the relationship between ethics and economics in the late 19th century against the background of a long utilitarian tradition, Oxford idealism and the beginnings of the normative/positive dichotomy. This set of stimulating reflections by well-known practitioners--including Chen Liew Ten, Jeremy Shearmur, Bob Coats and Geoffrey Brennan--stimulates much thought on the tricky associations between economics and ethics.
