Most people use money almost every day, and financial assets have become so important to modern life that they determine our fate both as individuals and as societies. Yet we seldom stop to think about what all of this means, how it works, and how it ought to work. How can a small piece of paper in your wallet have value? How can so much power be vested in the numbers that roll across bankers' computer screens? What role should financial assets and financial institutions play in our lives and in society?The philosophy of money and finance inquires into these types of questions, and takes a look 'under the hood' of money and finance, to address issues concerning the nature of money and the normative foundations of financial systems. Although philosophical theorizing about money and finance dates back to antiquity, the topic has only recently emerged as a central research focus. Economic globalization, technological innovation, the events of the 2008 financial crisis, and the Covid pandemic, have brought new urgency to a broad array of questions in this field.The Philosophy of Money and Finance presents sixteen original chapters providing a comprehensive introduction to this exciting new field. The book is divided into four parts, covering metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. Within each part, questions that are central to the topic are presented and discussed by leading scholars. The essays are written in a clear and straightforward manner and without presupposing any background in either philosophy or finance.

What ethical norms and obligations apply to economic agents such as companies and consumers? This question sits between two distinct strands of thought: ethics and economics. While economic behaviour often centres on self-interest and competition, ethical thinking emphasises empathy and cooperation. Business ethics seeks to bridge this divide-but past approaches have leaned too heavily toward either moral idealism or economic detachment. This book proposes a more balanced framework, where both ethical and economic reasoning have their place. Drawing on historical and contemporary debates, the authors examine key issues including the profit motive, justice in prices and wages, market harms, the limited liability corporation, and corporate social responsibility. The resulting theory is sensitive to the unique moral dynamics of market contexts and their broader societal consequences. Between Ethics and Economics is essential reading for anyone interested in how ethics and economics intersect in today's marketplace.

En samhällsvetenskaplig introduktion till bitcoin och kryptovalutor är ett samarbete mellan forskare och lärare från en rad olika akademiska discipliner. Boken är som titeln indikerar avsedd att ge en bred ingång till kryptovalutor och dess roll i samtiden med syfte att ge en nyanserad bild av detta samhällsfenomen, för att balansera den bitvis polariserade debatten om bitcoin och andra kryptovalutor. Kryptovalutor berör många av 2000-talets stora samhällsutmaningar och bokens innehåll kan därför bäst beskrivas som en kryptovalutabaserad skildring av samtidens utmaningar inom finans, juridik, etik och politik samt global energianvändning och digitalisering. Du som läsare behöver inga tidigare kunskaper om kryptovalutor, men om du vid något tillfälle har intresserat dig för kryptovärldens mysterier kan boken förhoppningsvis erbjuda nya perspektiv. Boken riktar sig till studenter och lärare på svenska högskolor, men även till andra med ett intresse för hur ekonomi och teknik formar samhällsutvecklingen.

Handelns utveckling och globalisering under de senaste årtiondena har inte bara inneburit välståndsökningar för många människor, utan den har också gett upphov till ett antal svåra moraliska utmaningar: de skenande ojämlikheterna mellan rika och fattiga länder, den globala miljöförstöringen och klimatförändringarna samt vad många upplever som en allt mer utbredd respektlöshet för både människor, djur och natur. Vilket ansvar har vi som konsumenter för att göra något åt detta? Är det till exempel moraliskt fel av oss att inte köpa rättvisemärkt och ekologiskt varje gång vi handlar i livsmedelsaffären? Är det moraliskt fel att äta kött? Vilket ansvar har de kommersiella företagen? Kan de fortsätta att enbart fokusera på marknadsandelar och vinster, eller har alla företag en moralisk skyldighet att arbeta aktivt med etik- och miljöfrågor? Och vilket ansvar vilar på våra folkvalda politiker och de internationella politiska institutionerna för att försöka vända den negativa trenden? Denna bok ger en introduktion till aktuella etiska och politiska diskussioner kring fenomenen rättvisemärkt, vegetariskt och ekologiskt. Den är framför allt riktad till dem som vill bidra till att göra världen bättre, och ger därför många råd och tips på hur man kan engagera sig aktivt och mer effektivt. Men boken introducerar också de djupare moralfilosofiska diskussioner som ligger bakom ett sådant engagemang. Hur långtgående skyldigheter har vi i den rika världen egentligen att hjälpa de fattiga och utsatta i det globala Syd? Har djur lika stort moraliskt värde som människor? Och har naturen ett egenvärde, eller är den bara värdefull i kraft av vad den kan ge oss människor?
