Originally published: 2009.   aIncludes bibliographical references and index.  aOver the past fifty years, the way we value what is 'good' and 'right' has changed dramatically. Behaviour that to our grandparents' generation might have seemed stupid, harmful or simply wicked now seems rational, natural, woven into the very logic of things. And, asserts Jonathan Aldred in this revelatory book, it's economics that's to blame. Licence to be Bad tells the story of how a group of economics theorists changed our world, and how a handful of key ideas seeped into our decision-making and, indeed, almost all aspects of our lives. Aldred reveals the extraordinary hold of economics on our morals and values. Economics has corrupted us. But if this hidden transformation is so recent, it can be reversed. Licence to be Bad shows us where to begin. 4aEconomicsxSociological aspects. 4aEthics. 4aEconomicsxMoral and ethical aspects.  2lcccBK  00104070aPNLIBbPNLIBcGENd2021-06-17oHM548 .A43 2020pPNLIB21060115r2021-06-17w2021-06-17yBK  c301d301
