Abstract

The Handbook of Teaching Ethics to Economists: A Plurality of Perspectives edited by Ioana Negru, Craig Duckworth and Imko Meyenburg is a valuable contribution to our thinking about how ethics can and should be incorporated into the economics curriculum. Despite a couple of problems, the Handbook has some good suggestions for engaging with mainstream economics on the question of ethics. It also offers some useful ideas for how courses on ethics could be taught, identifies a number of topics students are likely to find engaging, and explains how ethics can be used to explore those topics. Instructors interested in the project of teaching a more ethically grounded economics programme will find the Handbook of Teaching Ethics to Economists a valuable and inspiring resource.
