<br> Halteman and Noell bring a depth of vision and a richness of presentation to a very important subject: how values and beliefs impact economic behavior. They examine the role of moral reflection in the discourse on economics historically, analyzing how that role has evolved. They find that the role of moral reflection has diminished and that this, in turn, has diminished the discourse. Halteman and Noell's work will engage you, and it will encourage you to reflect on the ways in which moral questions impact economic activity. --Jerry Evensky, Professor of Economics, Meredith Professor for Teaching Excellence, Syracuse University<p><br> A timely book.

This book does not only provide an explanation for the failure of economics as a science but also shows how economics has in its history the answers to the current confusion. The challenge, so

Halteman and Noell have written a timely book on the role of ethics, values, and value judgments in economic discourse ... This is an excellent book that will be useful to all economists who view economics as a moral science. * Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics *
