Reckoning with Markets: The Role of Moral Reflection in Economics (9780199763702): James Halteman, Edd S. Noell: Books. 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 UniversityA timely book. It gives a much needed moral perspective on the science that should give guidance in these turbulent times yet seems to fail miserably doing so. 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 the authors argue persuasively, is to recover its roots as a moral science.--Arjo Klamer, Professor in Cultural Economics, Erasmus School of History, Culture, and Communication
