Produktbeschreibung
This book seeks to bring human caring back into economic theory, attacking assumptions that little attention has to be paid to values since they are merely subjective. The author demonstrates that much economic analysis does in fact presuppose a specific value position and argues that the treatment of values in economics must be extended.
In his Ethics, Aristotle argued that human beings try to further a variety of values by balancing them, stating that people try to find a middle road between excess and deficiency. The author develops and applies this idea to the values of economics, arguing that in the economy; freedom, justice and care are also balanced to further ends with scarce means. Freedom is furthered through market exchange, justice through a redistributive role of the state, and care through mutual gifts of labour and sharing of resources in the economy. The book argues that economics is, and has always been, about human values, which guide, enable, constrain and change economic behaviour.
