Ethics in Economics - An Introduction to Moral Frameworks

Summary

“This outstanding book” looks at the role of ethics within economic debates, going beyond welfare outcomes to examine our moral norms (Choice). 
 
In Ethics and Economics, Jonathan B. Wight argues that economic life relies on three interrelated ethical systems: outcome-based, duty- and rule-based, and virtue-based. Integrating contemporary research on ethics within a historical framework, Wight provides a thorough and accessible outline of all three schools, explaining how they fit or contrast with the economic welfare model.  
 
Wight uses these conceptual underpinnings to examine a range of topics, such as the 2008 financial crisis, the moral limits to markets, the findings of experimental economics, and the nature of economic justice. Wight’s analysis is guided by the innovative concept of ethical pluralism—the recognition that each system has appropriate applications, and that no single framework prevails. He makes the case that moving beyond utility maximization can lead to a richer understanding of human behavior and better policy decisions.

  • Becoming A Better Boss - Why Good Management is So Difficult - cover

    Becoming A Better Boss - Why...

    Julian Birkinshaws previous book, Reinventing Management,  focused on how executives can challenge deep-seated assumptions  about how large organisations work, and how they can devise new and  better ways of working.    This book tackles the same problems from the other direction, that  is, by focusing on the choices each employee makes, every day,  about how we get our work done. The goal, essentially, is to  reinvent the practice of management one person at a time.  If  each one of us becomes more effective in our managerial work, we  dont just improve the working lives of those around us, we  also become agents of change for this broader endeavour as well   to build better businesses.  The book is in two main parts.  The first part provides the  motivation and background for the core ideas in the book: showing  how important it is to take management seriously (chapter 1),   sketching out the key dimensions of management and where it usually  goes wrong (chapter 2), and taking a deep dive into the worldview  of the employee (chapter 3).   The second part provides a detailed discussion of the three  alternative perspectives: a re-interpretation of management through  the eyes of the employee (chapter 4), an exploration of our own  biases and frailties and how we can overcome them (chapter 5), and  a discussion of the use of active experimentation to overcome the  limitations and pathologies of the organisations we work for  (chapter 6).   The final chapter explores briefly some of the ways the profession  of management might change in the future. What are the megatrends  that could lead to more fundamental changes in how we get work  done?   Web 2.0, demographic change (Gen Y/Gen Z), and  virtual working of course; and then there is the shift in power  from the West to the Asia.   The author doesnt  believe the basic activities of management are going to change  dramatically, but there are inevitably going to be shifts in  emphasis, and the chapter explores these.  .  Case examples: a large number of case studies of different   management experiments (e.g. Roche, Atlassian, Pfizer, Microsoft,  Google, If).

    Seven principles for a just and sustainable system, accompanied by true stories of “the people creating the institutions of the next economy” (Kat Taylor, cofounder, Beneficial State Bank).   The extractive economy we live with now—designed by the 1 percent for the 1 percent—enables the financial elite to squeeze out maximum gain for themselves, heedless of damage to people or planet. But in this compelling book, Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard show that there is a new economy emerging, focused on helping everyone thrive while respecting planetary boundaries.   At a time when competing political visions are at stake the world over, this book urges a move beyond tinkering at the margins to address the systemic crisis of our economy. Kelly and Howard outline seven principles of what they call a Democratic Economy: community, inclusion, place (keeping wealth local), good work (putting labor before capital), democratized ownership, ethical finance, and sustainability. Each principle is paired with a place putting it into practice: Pine Ridge, Preston, Portland, Cleveland, and more. Included are stories not just of activists and grassroots leaders but of the unexpected accomplices of the Democratic Economy. Seeds of a future beyond corporate capitalism and state socialism are being planted in hospital procurement departments, pension fund offices, and even company boardrooms. The future remains uncertain—but Kelly and Howard help us understand how to nurture and grow those seeds into an equitable, ecologically sustainable economy that benefits all of us, not just the billionaires.   “As champions of worker and community ownership, Kelly and Howard remind us that economic democracy is essential to political democracy and a viable human future.” —David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World
