Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Finger-wagging moralizers say the love of money is the root of all evil. They assume that making a lot of money requires exploiting others and that the best way to wash off the resulting stain is to give a lot of it away. In Why It’s OK to Want to Be Rich Jason Brennan shows that the moralizers have it backwards. He argues that in general the more money you make the more you already do for others and that even an average wage earner is productively “giving back” to society just by doing her job. In addition wealth liberates us to have the best chance of leading a life that’s authentically our own. Brennan also demonstrates how money-based societies create nicer more trustworthy and more cooperative citizens. And in another chapter that takes on the new historians of capitalism Brennan argues that wealthy nations became wealthy because of their healthy institutions not from their horrific histories of slavery or colonialism. While writing that the more money one has the more one should help others Brennan also notes that we weren’t born into a perpetual debt to society. It’s OK to get rich and it’s OK to enjoy being rich too. Key Features Shows how the desire to become wealthy in an open and fair market helps maximize cooperation and lessens the chance of violence and war Argues that it is much easier for the average for-profit business to add value to the world than it is for the average non-profit Demonstrates that the kinds of virtues (e. g. conscientiousness thoughtfulness hard work) that lead to desirable personal and civic states (e. g. happy marriages stable families engaged citizens) also make people richer Argues that living in small clans for most of their history has given humans a negative attitude towards anyone acquiring more than her fair share an attitude that’s ill-suited for our market-driven globally connected world In a final provocative chapter maintains that ideal economic growth is infinite. | Why It's OK to Want to Be Rich

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

This book offers readers a pitch-side view of the ethics of fandom. Its accessible six chapters are aimed both at true sports fans whose conscience may be occasionally piqued by their pastime and at those who are more certain of the moral hazards involved in following a team or sport. Why It’s OK to Be a Sports Fan wrestles with a range of arguments against fandom and counters with its own arguments on why being a fan is very often a good thing. It looks at the ethical issues fans face from the violent or racist behavior of those in the stands to players’ infamous misdeeds to owners debasing their own clubs. In response to these moral risks the book argues that by being critical fans followers of a team or individual can reap the benefits of fandom while avoiding many of the ethical pitfalls. The authors show the value in deeply loving a team but also how a condition of this value is recognizing that the love of a fan comes with real limits and responsibilities. Key Features Provides an accessible introduction to a key area of the philosophy of sport Closely looks at some of the salient ethical concerns around sports fandom Proposes that the value of community in partisan fandom should not be underestimated as a key feature of the good life Examines how the same emotions and environments that can lead to violence are identical to those that lead to virtuous loyalty Argues for a fan’s responsibility in calling out violence or racist behavior from their fellow fans | Why It's OK to Be a Sports Fan

Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

Government collapsing? Zombies hunting you down? Everyone you know killed by a global epidemic? Not to worry! Economics holds the keys to survival. Often known as the dismal science it is particularly equipped to reveal order in what seems like chaos. Economists observe human behaviour: what leads us to take action and the subsequent consequences. However the choices made by individuals are not made in isolation; they influence and are influenced by the actions of others. A set of rules even if unwritten guides human behaviour. Foundational economic principles stand firmly in place even when society is breaking down and an understanding of these basic tenets of societies is essential to surviving the end of the world as we know it. In this book the authors draw from popular culture to show economic principles at work in the dystopian societies depicted in The Walking Dead Mad Max: Fury Road The Hunger Games Divergent A Clockwork Orange and Last Man on Earth. In each society its members face resource and social constraints that incentivize particular behaviours and lead to predictable outcomes. How does human behaviour change when resources are severely limited the legal system breaks down or individual freedom is stifled? The examples presented here shed an eerie light on the principles that guide our actions every day. Dystopia and Economics: A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies provides a user-friendly introduction to economics suitable for a general audience as well as devoted students of the discipline. | Dystopia and Economics A Guide to Surviving Everything from the Apocalypse to Zombies

From Trust to Trustworthiness

From Trust to Trustworthiness

Trust is an essential component of social life and yet political polarization and social tensions can easily lead to its erosion. The articles collected in this volume throw a new light on the fundamentals of trust and trustworthiness and thus help us understand better the conditions and the limits of trust. The book brings together some of the best recent thinking on trust from across a broad spectrum of approaches and concerns. The essays range from the more abstract discussions of the conditions and nature of trust to its application to our social and political lives in general alongside more subject specific approaches such as trust in the media. Trust is a thick concept with both epistemic and normative content and significance and several chapters engage with the ethical features of trust in distinct ways and also show the central role of trust in our decision-making. There is also an engagement with the phenomenological approach of Husserl in conjunction with Margaret Gilbert’s theory of political obligation. The final chapter by Onora O’Neill one of the pioneers of the discussions of trust and trustworthiness in recent philosophy links the topic of trust to the central issue of the conditions of trustworthiness. Given the paramount significance of the exercise of trust in our daily lives this book will be of interest to philosophers and non-philosophers alike. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies. | From Trust to Trustworthiness

Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher

Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher

The importance of the Prime Minister in British foreign policy decision-making has long been noted by historians. However while much attention has been given to high-level contacts between leaders and to the roles played by the premiers themselves much less is known about the people advising and influencing them. In providing day-to-day assistance to the Prime Minister a Private Secretary could wield significant influence on policy outcomes. This book examines the activities of those who advised prime ministers from Winston Churchill (1951–55) to Margaret Thatcher during her first administration (1979–83). Each chapter considers British foreign policy and assesses the influence of the specific advisers. For each office holder particular attention is paid to a number of key themes. Firstly their relationship with the Prime Minister is considered. A strong personal relationship of trust and respect could lead to an official wielding much greater influence. This could be especially relevant when an adviser served under two different leaders often from different political parties. It also helps to shed light on the conduct of foreign policy by each premier. Secondly the attitudes towards the adviser from the Foreign Office are examined. The Foreign Office traditionally enjoyed great autonomy in the making of British foreign policy and was sensitive to encroachments by Downing Street. Finally each chapter explores the role of the adviser in the key foreign policy events and discussions of the day. Covering a fascinating 30-year period in post-war British political history this collection broadens our understanding of the subject and underlines the different ways influence could be brought to bear on government policy. | Private Secretaries to the Prime Minister Foreign Affairs from Churchill to Thatcher

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography

The goal of How to Make Maps is to equip readers with the foundational knowledge of concepts they need to conceive design and produce maps in a legible clear and coherent manner drawing from both classical and modern theory in cartography. This book is appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students who are beginning a course of study in geospatial sciences or who wish to begin producing their own maps. While the book assumes no a priori knowledge or experience with geospatial software it may also serve GIS analysts and technicians who wish to explore the principles of cartographic design. The first part of the book explores the key decisions behind every map with the aim of providing the reader with a solid foundation in fundamental cartography concepts. Chapters 1 through 3 review foundational mapping concepts and some of the decisions that are a part of every map. This is followed by a discussion of the guiding principles of cartographic design in Chapter 4—how to start thinking about putting a map together in an effective and legible form. Chapter 5 covers map projections the process of converting the curved earth’s surface into a flat representation appropriate for mapping. Chapters 6 and 7 discuss the use of text and color respectively. Chapter 8 reviews trends in modern cartography to summarize some of the ways the discipline is changing due to new forms of cartographic media that include 3D representations animated cartography and mobile cartography. Chapter 9 provides a literature review of the scholarship in cartography. The final component of the book shifts to applied technical concepts important to cartographic production covering data quality concepts and the acquisition of geospatial data sources (Chapter 10) and an overview of software applications particularly relevant to modern cartography production: GIS and graphics software (Chapter 11). Chapter 12 concludes the book with examples of real-world cartography projects discussing the planning data collection and design process that lead to the final map products. This book aspires to introduce readers to the foundational concepts—both theoretical and applied—they need to start the actual work of making maps. The accompanying website offers hands-on exercises to guide readers through the production of a map—from conception through to the final version—as well as PowerPoint slides that accompany the text. | How to Make Maps An Introduction to Theory and Practice of Cartography
