As we increasingly engage in market activity, the more likely we are to become selfish, corrupt, rapacious and debased. Even Adam Smith, who famously celebrated markets, believed that there were moral costs associated with life in market societies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book explores whether or not engaging in market activities is morally corrupting. Storr and Choi demonstrate that people in market societies are wealthier, healthier, happier and better connected than those in societies where markets are more restricted. More provocatively, they explain that successful markets require and produce virtuous participants. Markets serve as moral spaces that both rely on and reward their participants for being virtuous. Rather than harming individuals morally, the market is an arena where individuals are encouraged to be their best moral selves. \u003ci\u003eDo Markets Corrupt Our Morals? \u003c\/i\u003einvites us to reassess the claim that markets corrupt our morals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Virgil Henry Storr, Ginny Seung Choi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030184153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030184155\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.62d","brand":"Virgil Henry Storr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940737810687,"sku":"9783030184155","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f49b72d5-3597-4ce9-99a2-06df52a2b682.jpg?v=1681448904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/do-markets-corrupt-our-morals-virgil-henry-storr-9783030184155","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
