Description

This book studies the interfaces of ethics, economics, and politics.

Public policy issues involve all three of these subjects.

Although it may be seen as suggesting the nucleus of a joint university course, the book is accessible to and should interest all those concerned with political decisions.

Any such decision needs a criterion for judging whether one action or outcome is better than another.

Even a dictator must to some extent be concerned about the economic elfare of the citizens; and a democratic government more so.

But how is a person's economic welfare to be judged?

Furthermore, any political decision affects the economic welfare of different people differently.

How then is the welfare of a community to be judged?

This is an ethical question. Underlying any coherent public policy there must be a relevant moral code.
