«Economy and Virtue» is the essay collection on markets and morality edited by Dennis O'Keeffe, published by the IEA in hardback (200 pages, in English).
The book defends the market economy against those who deny it moral foundations. It argues that a free society rests on values, that voluntary exchange curbs selfishness, and that property rights protect the vulnerable. To judge the market, 'getting and spending' is not enough: motives and character matter.
Volume 59 of the Institute of Economic Affairs' Readings series. It brings together essays by Walter E. Williams, Antony Flew, Israel M. Kirzner, Arthur Shenfield, Sean Gabb and other authors.
For readers interested in economics, moral philosophy and the debate on capitalism; also useful for academic and professional audiences.
