{"product_id":"9780191531408","title":"Ethics: Economics, \u0026 Politics: Principles of Public Policy","description":"This book studies the interfaces of ethics, economics, and politics. Public policy issues involve all three of these subjects. Although it may be seen as suggesting the nucleus of a joint university course, the book is accessible to and should interest all those concerned with political decisions. Any such decision needs a criterion for judging whether one action or outcome is better than another. Even a dictator must to some extent be concerned about the economic welfare of the citizens; and a democratic government more so. But how is a person's economic welfare to be judged? Furthermore, any political decision affects the economic welfare of different people differently. How then is the welfare of a community to be judged? This is an ethical question. Underlying any coherent public policy there must be a relevant moral code.","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119849521392,"sku":"9780191531408","price":40.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780191531408_p0.jpg?v=1763661091","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780191531408","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
