The Purse and the Conscience: An Attempt to Show the Connection Between Economics and Ethics (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Uncover how money, morality, and markets shape who prospers—and who doesn’t.
This concise work surveys how ethics intersects with economics, exploring why wealth accumulates, how competition works, and where society can and should intervene for fairness. It offers a readable map of ideas about justice in monetary affairs, and why honest, thoughtful behavior in business matters to the whole community.
The book frames big questions about value, rewards, and responsibility. It explains how competition can favor those who respond to genuine community needs, and it looks at the limits and distortions that can alter outcomes. Throughout, it argues that ethical standards and public action matter for a healthier economy and a more just society.- Learn how markets reward work and services, and where outcomes can diverge from fairness.
- See how customs, laws, and social expectations shape wages, costs, and behavior.
- Explore practical ideas for reducing dishonesty in trade and strengthening every link in the economy.
- Consider the role of wealth, generosity, and responsibility in shaping prosperity for all.

Excerpt from The Purse and the Conscience: An Attempt to Show the Connection Between Economics and Ethics
The portions of the quoted passages on pages 45 and 147 which are italicised are so empha sised by myself, not by the writers from whom the quotations are made.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate relationship between ethics and economics, examining how justice and fairness play out in monetary matters. The author argues that while the competitive system tends to reward individuals based on their contributions to society, various factors can disrupt this balance, leading to unequal distribution of wealth. The author explores these disruptive forces, including bad laws, monopolies, and inherited wealth, and discusses their impact on the fairness of the system. Ethical considerations are also examined, with the author arguing that beyond justice, generosity and self-denial are essential for a truly equitable society. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the ethical dimensions of economics, offering insights into how we can create a more just and humane economic system.
