Informationen zum Autor Andrew Yuengert is the John and Francis Duggan professor of Economics at Seaver College, Pepperdine University. Klappentext Exploring recent controversies over the role of ethics in economics, The Boundaries of Technique encourages scholars and students to discover and debate the ways in which economics is insulated from ethics, and the ways in which it is dependent upon it. Ultimately, by bringing readers to a deeper awareness of the intrinsic involvement of the individual and the responsibility of moral choice, Yuengert makes an invaluable contriubtion to the study and practice of economics. Zusammenfassung The Boundaries of Technique offers an account of economics as a purposive - that is! human - enterprise. It draws on a thorough account of human action in the work of Saint Thomas Aquinas and Aristotle. Both authors give an account of reason in human action! and the place of technique in moral life.
