These include: what degree of priority ought to be granted to property rights among all individual liberties; whether uncertainties in economic life justify investing political authorities with the power to stabilize business cycles; whether it is better to trust entrepreneurial initiatives to resolve societal dilemmas or to centralize policy-making in the hands of a benevolent government. The chapters argue that economic thought has evolved from an emphasis on \"sympathy\" (as defined by Adam Smith) and that there has more recently been a rediscovery of the significance of sympathy reinvented as \"fair reciprocity\" in the wake of the emergence of behavioural economics and its connection to evolutionary psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis key book is of great interest to readers in the history of ideas, political and moral philosophy, and political economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurent Dobuzinskis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032106115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032106113\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/23\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.39lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Laurent Dobuzinskis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128245973247,"sku":"9781032106113","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_95a20da6-9c3e-417b-b100-254b892b4ccb.jpg?v=1687457721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/moral-discourse-in-the-history-laurent-dobuzinskis-9781032106113","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
