What is the benchmark to prove their utility? \u003cem\u003eBusiness Ethics and the Austrian Tradition in Economics \u003c\/em\u003eis a treatise on the fundamental questions of business ethics and addresses significant shortcomings in the field. It is the result of correlating reflections on phenomena, resulting from an intersection of ethics, economics, methodology, and political and social philosophy. Sparked by the business ethicists' tendency to consider certain areas outside their field and accept others unquestioningly, this book provides answers in the tradition of Austrian Economics and, in particular, of Hayek and Popper. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough detailed examination and reflection, this book presents the thesis that many themes in business ethics are discussed either unduly intensely, unbalanced or rarely, measured against what business ethics as a science should deliver. It does so by offering an answer to one of the most crucial questions in business ethics, namely that of justice in moral economic actions. Bouillon develops an original definition of morally just economic action in the course of three chapters, and subsequently uses it as yardstick, from which, in chapter four, he reads which of the relevant concepts and topics in business ethics ask for restatement. As a side-product Bouillon discloses logical inconsistencies in prominent political philosophies, and the consequences of these inconsistencies for maldevelopments in business ethics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBusiness Ethics and the Austrian Tradition in Economics\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates and analyses the business etchics' peculiarities particularly within German literature, providing the reader with a focus rarely found elsewhere. This book should be of interest to economics postgraduates and researchers looking at business ethics, economic theory, and social and political philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardy Bouillon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415600251\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415600255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.60d","brand":"Hardy Bouillon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064937263359,"sku":"9780415600255","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7be66c6-8a64-48ff-8f58-e253a70a9421.jpg?v=1768672043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/business-ethics-and-the-austrian-hardy-bouillon-9780415600255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
