{"product_id":"lessons-from-the-global-financial-richard-morgan-9781589795778","title":"Lessons from the Global Financial Crisis: The Relevance of Adam Smith on Morality and Free Markets","description":"Adam Smith was an advocate of the free market; however his first and widely-acclaimed work, \u003ci\u003eThe Theory of Moral Sentiments\u003c\/i\u003e, was on ethics. While commentators tend to review this work in isolation from his writing on political economy, Richard Morgan argues that although \u003ci\u003eThe Wealth of Nations\u003c\/i\u003e is concerned with political economy, Smith's pointed attacks on exploitation and greed reflect the ethics outlined in his first work and illuminate the constructive role he proposed for government, which includes ensuring the provision of education and protection of society by regulating the banking system, even while stressing that government regulations be kept to a minimum.\u003cbr\u003eMorgan's analysis is extremely relevant to understanding the global financial crisis and the relevance of morality in the free market; it should guide us in setting appropriate policies for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1589795776\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781589795778\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taylor Trade Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.70w x 0.30d","brand":"Richard Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088599527679,"sku":"9781589795778","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c6285fcb-4240-469e-acab-af42dc18b71c.jpg?v=1769105664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lessons-from-the-global-financial-richard-morgan-9781589795778","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
