Economics Moralism: An Essay In Constructive Economics is a book written by James Haldane Smith and published in 1917. The book is an exploration of the intersection of economics and morality, arguing that economics cannot be understood without considering its moral dimensions. Smith argues that economics is not merely a matter of technical expertise or mathematical formulas, but is instead deeply intertwined with questions of ethics, justice, and human flourishing. The book is divided into three parts. The first part lays out Smith's argument for the importance of moral considerations in economics, drawing on historical and philosophical perspectives. The second part explores specific economic issues, such as the distribution of wealth and the role of government in the economy, from a moral perspective. The final part of the book offers a vision for a more just and equitable economic system, one that takes into account the needs and aspirations of all members of society. Throughout the book, Smith draws on a wide range of sources, from classical economists like Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill to contemporary social thinkers like Jane Addams and John Dewey. He also engages with the debates of his own time, such as the rise of industrial capitalism and the emergence of socialist and labor movements. Overall, Economics Moralism is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to think deeply about the ethical dimensions of economic life. It remains a relevant and timely contribution to the ongoing conversation about how to create a more just and sustainable economic system.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
