By Arthur Twining Hadley

Book Overview

Standards of Public Morality is a book written by Arthur Twining Hadley, an American economist and educator. The book was first published in 1907 and has since been recognized as a seminal work in the field of ethics and public policy. In this book, Hadley argues that the standards of public morality are essential for the proper functioning of a democratic society. He examines the role of government in setting and enforcing these standards and explores the relationship between individual morality and public morality. Hadley also delves into various ethical issues that arise in public life, such as the conflict between individual rights and the common good, the role of religion in public life, and the importance of civic virtue. He draws on examples from history and contemporary society to illustrate his arguments and provides practical recommendations for policymakers and citizens alike. Overall, Standards of Public Morality is a thought-provoking and insightful work that continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about ethics and public policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
