Description:

This work includes an examination of economics and ethics from an economist's and a philosopher's perspective, in order to assess the contemporary implications of the relationship in the late-19th century against the background of a long utilitarian tradition.

Synopsis:

In December 1994, social scientists from the fields of economics, philosophy, political science and anthropology attended a workshop to discuss the current state of the economics-ethics nexus by way of examining both past and contemporary practice. The proceedings of this conference presented a wide variety of attitudes and included an examination of economics and ethics: * from an economist's and a philosopher's perspective * in order to assess the contemporary implications of the relationship * in the late 19th century against the background of a long utilitarian tradition This is a set of stimulating reflections by practitioners - including Chen Liew Ten, Bob Coats and Geoffrey Brennan - on the tricky associations between economics and ethics.
