Description - Ethics and the Market by Richard Norman
Despite the continuing dominance of market relations and market forces in contemporary society, there remain fundamental questions about the ethical acceptability of markets and their effects. This collection brings philosophical analysis and argument to bear on these questions. Papers in the first half of the volume examine the relation between the market and central ethical concepts. In the second part, the focus is on the relation between markets and specific social phenomena such as privatization, poverty and exclusion, the "ethical consumer" movement, and the operation of market principles in the National Health Service. The views and arguments presented in the papers do not stem from any single moral or philosophical perspective, but togther they add up to a comprehensive review of the ethical problems raised by market societies.
