This book introduces a study of ethics and values to develop a deeper understanding of markets, business, and economic life. Its distinctive features include a thorough integration of personal and institutional perspectives; applied ethics and political philosophy; and philosophy, business, and economics.



This book introduces a study of ethics and values to develop a deeper understanding of markets, business, and economic life. Its distinctive features include a thorough integration of personal and institutional perspectives; applied ethics and political philosophy; and philosophy, business, and economics.

Part 1 introduces a study of markets, property rights, and law. Part 2 examines the purpose and responsibilities of corporations. Parts 3 and 4 analyze economic life through the ethics and values of welfare and efficiency, liberty, rights, equality, desert, personal character, community, and the common good.

This third edition maintains the strengths of previous editions – short, digestible chapters and engaging writing that explains challenging ideas clearly. The material is easily adaptable with suggested course outlines, separable chapters, and flexible applications to case studies. This book is designed for interdisciplinary programs in philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE), as well as courses in business ethics.

Updates to the third edition include:

  • addition of a new introductory chapter on the value of an ethical life
  • coverage of AI developments, including copyrights and patent implications, social media companies and CSR, ethical differences between AI and human personality, and impacts on meaningful work 
  • integration of recent scholarship, bringing discussions and references up to date
  • improvement of the writing across all chapters, making the book easier to read 
  • addition of new material on the is-ought gap in Chapter 1 with revised discussion of personal and institutional points of view 
  • editing and repositioning of consequentialist and deontological ethics in Chapter 3
  • revision of appendix for instructors that includes different syllabi possibilities for different types of courses

The eBook of the third edition now includes hyperlinks (1) between when a term is first used in the main text and its definition in the Glossary and (2) between germane sections when they are cross-referenced.

Recenzijos

"The third edition of Markets, Ethics, and Business Ethics offers a comprehensive introduction to the ethical, economic, and political study of markets, and of the people who affect and are affected by them. It speaks directly to students and readers, taking them on an intellectual journey through the diversity and complexity of ethical thought, without dumbing ideas down, or offering facile solutions. This latest edition extends itself to include current research discussions, such as the growth and implications of Artificial Intelligence in business. As such, it is an ideal text for students interested in philosophy, politics, and economics at both the undergraduate and graduate levels."

"Markets, Ethics, and Business Ethics, Third Edition, is still the go-to introductory text for classes in business ethics and philosophy, politics, economics, and law programs. Professor Scalet raises all the right issues and ethical questions, and hes always clear about why were asking these questions in the first place. The books integrative nature allows students to make connections between theory and practice in ways that will improve their own thinking and behavior in social and economic life."

-Terry L. Price, Coston Family Chair in Leadership and Ethics, Professor of Leadership Studies and PPEL, University of Richmond, USA

"Steve Scalet's Markets, Ethics, and Business Ethics is the first business ethics textbook to take seriously the relationship between business, economics, and political theory. By setting the questions of business ethics in a broader context this book has improved student understanding and deliberation of the important issues it addresses.This is by far the best and most practically valuable business ethics text I have encountered."
