Summary
Details

Markets are often seen as invisible, silent forces that shape our lives in profound ways. They determine the goods and services available to us, the prices we pay, and even the jobs we can do. But how much do we really understand about the ethical implications of these powerful forces?

The Silent Force delves into the complex relationship between markets, ethics, and contemporary economics. It explores how market forces can both promote and undermine ethical values, such as fairness, sustainability, and human well-being. The book challenges us to think critically about the assumptions that underpin our economic system and to consider alternative models that might be more just and equitable.

Some of the key questions the book addresses include:

What are the ethical obligations of businesses in a market economy?

How can we ensure that markets serve the common good rather than enriching a select few?

What role should government play in regulating markets and promoting ethical behavior?

What are the potential alternatives to our current market-based system?

The Silent Force is a timely and thought-provoking book that is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the ethical dimensions of the economy in which we live. It is a call to action for all of us to work towards creating a more just and sustainable future
