Essays on Ethics, Governance, and Economy

Are human beings by nature good, evil, or are we born as a blank slate? How does the philosophy of human nature impact social and political development? This is a classical philosophical question explored by the early Greek philosophers Plato and Aristotle and continues to be a relevant question of today. Essays on Ethics, Governance, and Economy also explores the philosophical debate on morality, efficient forms of governance, our modern day liberal democracy and its view on human nature, and the debate between the free-market and command economies. This book is made accessible to college students studying philosophy, politics, psychology, economics, sociology, and for anyone interested in these philosophical topics.
