Covering microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, as well as many topics discussed in a university-level ethics course, Beyond Naïveté demonstrates how ethics and philosophy speak to economic questions and how economics addresses philosophical and ethical questions. Easily accessible to non-specialists, the book also provides numerous insights for specialists in economics, philosophical ethics, or both.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the Forewords:\u003cbr\u003eThis clearly-written book is notable first and foremost for its intention to reach readers who do not have equal expertise in philosophy, theology, and economics—which is to say most of us. . . . In so far as the stated goals of this book are to educate non-economists about economics and non-philosophers about philosophy, and to demonstrate some of the rich ethical conversations that are possible between the two disciplines, it is highly successful. \u003cbr\u003e -- Kathryn D. Blanchard, M.Div., Ph.D., Alma College\u003cbr\u003eAs an economist who spends a great deal of time trying to reach out to the young minds that will shape our world in the future, I find this book particularly fitting for all young aspiring economists and philosophers. . . . It is the blending of positive and normative economics, in this book, that the authors have accomplished, enabling the reader to critically assess the impact of economic incentives in conjunction with ethical and related philosophical issues. -- Craig Broadbent, M.A., Ph.D., Illinois Wesleyan University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEthicist’s Foreword: Kathryn D.
