  Ethics in Economics - An...

  “This outstanding book” looks at the role of ethics within economic debates, going beyond welfare outcomes to examine our moral norms (Choice). 
   
  In Ethics and Economics, Jonathan B. Wight argues that economic life relies on three interrelated ethical systems: outcome-based, duty- and rule-based, and virtue-based. Integrating contemporary research on ethics within a historical framework, Wight provides a thorough and accessible outline of all three schools, explaining how they fit or contrast with the economic welfare model.  
   
  Wight uses these conceptual underpinnings to examine a range of topics, such as the 2008 financial crisis, the moral limits to markets, the findings of experimental economics, and the nature of economic justice. Wight’s analysis is guided by the innovative concept of ethical pluralism—the recognition that each system has appropriate applications, and that no single framework prevails. He makes the case that moving beyond utility maximization can lead to a richer understanding of human behavior and better policy decisions.

  Dr Buteyko Lecture at Moscow...

  This lecture took place in the largest auditorium of the Moscow State University (named after M. V. Lomonosov). This special event was organized for the staff of the university. It was likely the classified nature of Buteyko’s research during the 1960s (for first Soviet spaceship missions or Soviet Cosmos) and exclusiveness of his discoveries that predetermined the organization of this lecture. 
  Hence, it was definitely a very large and significant event for the scientific staff of the Moscow State University, the most famous and prestigious university of the USSR. Try to imagine: the leading scientists, professors, academicians, and directors of numerous institutes of the most famous Soviet university are gathered together to hear news about space program discoveries that have benefited medicine. The lecture does not describe Buteyko breathing exercises (or Buteyko reduced or shallow breathing). However, it focuses in great detail on healthy lifestyle factors and lifestyle risk factors, as well as situational details of work of Dr. Buteyko and his medical colleagues with the severely sick patients, as one can see from the content of this book. The book quotes the term "yoga" more than 20 times. 
  In order to have a better understanding of what Dr. Buteyko said during this lecture, the audiobook includes numerous comments and explanations provided by Dr. Artour Rakhimov. These comments include clinical studies that support Dr. Buteyko's ideas.
