About this ebook

Economic Ethics Shifts examines the moral underpinnings of economic systems, tackling pressing questions about wealth inequality, taxation, and labor rights. It argues that economic policies are not merely technical but reflect core ethical commitments, impacting social cohesion and overall quality of life. The book uniquely integrates ethical theory with empirical analysis, providing a holistic view suitable for students, policymakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of ethics and economics. It presents varied moral philosophies like utilitarianism, egalitarianism, and libertarianism as frameworks for evaluating global economic policies.

The book progresses logically, first scrutinizing ethical issues surrounding wealth creation and distribution, including the justifications for income inequality and the responsibilities of the wealthy. Then, it dissects the ethics of taxation, comparing different tax systems and exploring the dilemmas of tax avoidance. Finally, it delves into labor rights, focusing on fair wages and safe working conditions.

By drawing on empirical data and case studies, Economic Ethics Shifts offers an evidence-based perspective on the ethical dimensions of economic policy, particularly in developed and emerging economies.
