Economies
is unavoidably central to any attempt
to improve our quality of life, but most people do
not know why, or how to question its underlying
assumptions.
The Skeptical Economist rejects the story told by
other popular economics books. Responding to
Western malaise about quality of life, and a
growing curiosity about economics and its
relevance to these concerns, Jonathan Aldred
argues that economics is not an agreed body of
knowledge or an objective science. In reality
economics is built on ethical foundations
-
distinctive and controversial views about how we
ought to live, what we value and why. This
revealing and entertaining book exposes these
hidden assumptions, and opens up the black box
of modern economics to reveal that conventional
wisdom is not what it appears to be.
The Skeptical Economist will challenge us all to
examine the assumptions behind the economics of
our current way of life. It rediscovers the ethics at
the heart of economics.
Dr
Jonathan Aldred is a Fellow and Director of
Studies in Economics at Emmanuel College and a
Newton Trust Lecturer in the Department of Land
Economy, both in the University of Cambridge, UK.
An economist by training, his research interests are
now interdisciplinary, spanning economics,
philosophy, law and political theory. |
