Abstract

Chapter 1 outlines the aims and structure of the book, providing a brief description of the content of each chapter to follow. I stress the double relevance of ethics to the study of economics and the formation of public policy; namely, the role that values actually play in the behaviour of people in the economy and society and the need to explicitly ask questions about what the right action or policy should be. I foreshadow the adoption of a form of consequentialist analysis in the book.
