Recenzii

From the Forewords:
This clearly-written book is notable first and foremost for its intention to reach readers who do not have equal expertise in philosophy, theology, and economics-which is to say most of us. . . . In so far as the stated goals of this book are to educate non-economists about economics and non-philosophers about philosophy, and to demonstrate some of the rich ethical conversations that are possible between the two disciplines, it is highly successful.

As an economist who spends a great deal of time trying to reach out to the young minds that will shape our world in the future, I find this book particularly fitting for all young aspiring economists and philosophers. . . . It is the blending of positive and normative economics, in this book, that the authors have accomplished, enabling the reader to critically assess the impact of economic incentives in conjunction with ethical and related philosophical issues.
