Daniel Finn

The Moral Ecology of Markets

Assessing Claims about Markets and Justice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Disagreements about the morality of markets - and about self-interested behavior within markets - run deep. They arise from perspectives within economics and political philosophy that appear to have nothing in common. Daniel Finn provides a framework for understanding these conflicting points of view. Recounting the arguments for and against markets and self-interest, he argues that every economy must address four fundamental problems: allocation, distribution, scale, and the quality of relations. Throughout, Finn engages with major figures in political philosophy and economics, including John Rawls, Robert Nozick, Milton Friedman, and James Buchannan.
