Book Synopsis What Money Can't Buy by : Michael J. Sandel
Download or read book What Money Can't Buy written by Michael J. Sandel and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Should we pay children to read books or to get good grades? Should we allow corporations to pay for the right to pollute the atmosphere? Is it ethical to pay people to test risky new drugs or to donate their organs? What about hiring mercenaries to fight our wars? Auctioning admission to elite universities? Selling citizenship to immigrants willing to pay? In What Money Can't Buy, Michael J. Sandel takes on one of the biggest ethical questions of our time: Is there something wrong with a world in which everything is for sale? If so, how can we prevent market values from reaching into spheres of life where they don't belong? What are the moral limits of markets? In recent decades, market values have crowded out nonmarket norms in almost every aspect of life—medicine, education, government, law, art, sports, even family life and personal relations. Without quite realizing it, Sandel argues, we have drifted from having a market economy to being a market society. Is this where we want to be?In his New York Times bestseller Justice, Sandel showed himself to be a master at illuminating, with clarity and verve, the hard moral questions we confront in our everyday lives. Now, in What Money Can't Buy, he provokes an essential discussion that we, in our market-driven age, need to have: What is the proper role of markets in a democratic society—and how can we protect the moral and civic goods that markets don't honor and that money can't buy?

Book Synopsis Fixing the Moral Deficit by : Ronald J. Sider
Download or read book Fixing the Moral Deficit written by Ronald J. Sider and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2012-03-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national deficit is certainly a crisis. But alongside it a moral deficit is exploding as well. Some want to unjustly thrust the burden of the debt on our grandchildren. Others want to balance the budget on the backs of the poor. But both plans are morally bankrupt. There is a way--a realistic way, a moral way--to fix the deficit. We can break political gridlock with solutions that stand on a foundation of solid values and fair play. If you are tired of politics as usual that fails to operate as if people mattered, take heart in Ron Sider's balanced, practical approach. Consistent with deeply Christian principles, he offers a way forward that truly provides justice for all.

Book Synopsis Moral Accounting by : Hyun Young Park
Download or read book Moral Accounting written by Hyun Young Park and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the prevalence of bounded morality and possibly tainted financial gains, this research examines how feeling guilty about money changes consumer spending. Extending the research on mental and emotional accounting, we propose that consumers also engage in “moral accounting”: consumers spend money differently depending on the moral nature of the emotion (i.e., guilt) associated with the money. We show that tainting money with moral guilt resulting from a moral violation increases pro-social spending, whereas tainting money with self-control guilt elicited from a personal self-control failure increases self-improvement spending. Moreover, this effect of moral guilt (but not of self-control guilt) is magnified by consumers' self-importance of moral identity--confirming the moral nature of guilt as the driving factor underlying the differential guilt effects. We further find that moral guilt can be bound to money, leading to a pre-occupation with cleansing the money by spending some of it pro-socially, rather than engaging in other activities that could more effectively reinforce their moral identity (i.e., volunteering time). These results suggest that associating moral guilt with money--and focusing on that money instead of its moral implications for the self--acts as a proactive self-protection (vs. reactive self-repair) strategy against a self-threat.
Book Synopsis Getting and Spending by : Peter L. Danner
Download or read book Getting and Spending written by Peter L. Danner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 1994 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting and spending conceives the economy and economic acts as essentially social. After a frank look at the benefits and perils of economic abundance, it moves from the universal and inevitable condition of economic scarcity to the need to use material resources and human efficiency. The crucial analysis of this book centers on an understanding of gain-seeking - both as a human drive essential for the economy to function an as a distinctive human appetite which, being prone to sensuality, self-glorification, greed and love of power, must be guided and monitored, especially by the virtues of justice, moderation and spiritual poverty. All of this brought together produces the conclusion that, as divergent as they might sometimes be, moral and economic endeavors can be not only compatible but mutually confirming.--Provided by Amazon.com.

Book Synopsis The Morality of Pluralism by : John Kekes
Download or read book The Morality of Pluralism written by John Kekes and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1996-03-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversies about abortion, the environment, pornography, AIDS, and similar issues naturally lead to the question of whether there are any values that can be ultimately justified, or whether values are simply conventional. John Kekes argues that the present moral and political uncertainties are due to a deep change in our society from a dogmatic to a pluralistic view of values. Dogmatism is committed to there being only one justifiable system of values. Pluralism recognizes many such systems, and yet it avoids a chaotic relativism according to which all values are in the end arbitrary. Maintaining that good lives must be reasonable, but denying that they must conform to one true pattern, Kekes develops and justifies a pluralistic account of good lives and values, and works out its political, moral, and personal implications.

Book Synopsis Morality and the Market by : Eugene A. Heath
Download or read book Morality and the Market written by Eugene A. Heath and published by McGraw-Hill Humanities, Social Sciences & World Languages. This book was released on 2002 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Morality and the Market is a business ethics anthology unlike any other. The book covers the foundations of markets, their operations, and their effects by incorporating most traditional business ethics topics while introducing new ones as well. The result is a text with genuine diversity of opinion, philosophical depth, and breadth of topic, accompanied throughout by a knowledgeable and sympathetic account of the traditional issues in business ethics.Morality and the Market places special and distinctive emphasis on virtue and its applicability to the contexts of commerce. Each of the traditional topics of business ethics is related to particular virtues. For example, the virtue of honesty is related to advertising and sales; integrity is related to whistle-blowing; social responsibility is related to business profit; and courage is related to entrepreneurship. Morality and the Market explores the moral foundations of markets, their moral consequences, and considers the effects of commerce on the arts, culture, the environment, and technological progress.
