Produktbeschreibung

"An insightful and timely integration of ethical principles into the field of international development, this book challenges the dominance of economic paradigms using a comprehensive ethical framework."

-Ceyhun Elgin, Professor, Department of Economics, Bogaziçi University

This book provides a fresh perspective on international development. By integrating ethical concepts and moral philosophy with political economy, Nikos Astroulakis and Nikolaos Karagiannis explore three levels of ethical analysis: meta-ethical, normative ethical, and applied ethical. This approach underscores the importance of ethics in shaping development goals and strategies tailored to an individual society.

The book uses a framework rooted in heterodox political economy to redefine what it means to be a "good society." It challenges conventional economic models and proposes development ethics as a compelling alternative. Readers will discover new ways to understand the purpose of development and innovative methods to evaluate its success.

Development Ethics explains how ethical principles can transform development policies, making it an essential read for those committed to building a more just and equitable world.

Nikos Astroulakis is an economist at the Tax and Customs Academy of the Greek Independent Authority for Public Revenue and an adjunct professor at the Hellenic Open University in Greece. His research focuses on development ethics within a political economy context.

Nikolaos Karagiannis is Professor of Economics at Winston-Salem State University, North Carolina; a Research Scholar at the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity; an invited visiting scholar at the University of Cambridge, England; and the co-editor of American Review of Political Economy. His research areas include economic development, macroeconomic policy analysis, and public sector economics.
