Social Interactions and Ethical Values

Amitava Dutt and Charles K. Wilber

Chapter 5 in Economics and Ethics, 2010, pp 79-94 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We argued in the previous chapter that individuals have ethical values which influence how they behave. This chapter examines the implications of that behavior for societal outcomes. The outcomes, obviously, depend on how individuals interact with each other. Therefore the main task of this chapter is to examine how the interaction between individuals results in social outcomes, and what role ethical values have in the nature of these outcomes.
