Financial Ethics

Financial Ethics: A Positivist Analysis provides a positivist framework for the study of financial ethics built on a broad review of mainstream scholarly research. An objective of this book is to demonstrate that ethics is already an important part of financial research, and therefore the approach taken here is more of a "rediscovery" of the ethical dimension of financial economics. The text discusses several examples in which an ethics-centered approach to understanding economic phenomena is similar in spirit to other frameworks which have been applied in positive financial research. Several "financial ethical technologies" are discussed that enhance economic value by mitigating moral risks in exchange.
