What human purpose does an economy serve? In this pathbreaking book, William James Booth examines what he calls the moral architecture of the economy--its significance in our ethical world and the influence of social values on its institutions. Turning to the most fundamental economic unit, Booth explores three basic conceptions of the household--the Aristotelian, the classic liberal, and the Marxist.
