ECONOMIC MORALISTS
A HISTORY OF RIVAL ETHICS AND ECONOMICS
Since colonial times, two discernable schools
have debated major issues of economic morality
in America. The central norm of one morality is
the freedom, or autonomy, of the individual and
deines virtues, vices, obligations, and rights by
how they contribute to that freedom. The other
morality is relational and deines economic ethics
in terms of behaviors mandated by human con-
nectedness.
America’s Economic Moralists
shows
how each morality has been composed of an ethi-
cal outlook paired with a compatible economic
theory, each supporting the other. Donald E.
Frey adopts a multidisciplinary approach, not
only drawing upon historical economic thought,
American religious thought, and ethics, but also
inding threads of economic morality in novels,
government policies, and popular writings. He
uses the history of these two supported yet very
different views to explain the culture of excess
that permeates the morality of today’s economic
landscape.
