Economics as a Moral Science

Jeffrey T. Young

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This insightful book offers an original approach to the moral philosophy and economics of Adam Smith. The author proposes new ways of linking Smith’s moral theories to his economics, stressing that for Smith, a moral science of economics is not a contradiction in terms, and that moral questions actually lie at the heart of positive and normative economic analysis.
