消費者有權利知道，他們所吃的食物是如何被對待的！ [講理的人適應世界，不講理的人堅持要讓世界適應自己。因此，一切的進步都要靠不講理的人。──蕭伯納，《致革命者的箴言》，一九○三] 十件你可以為人道經濟做的事 一、用你的錢投票每當你在市場上消費，就是在用你的錢投票支持、或是反對對動物殘忍。二、吃食物鏈底層的食物用更多植物性的食物來獲取營養，這對你自己、對地球、對動物都比較好。三 加入、支持人道協會及

This volume examines themes that complicate the conventional economist's view of the world and thereby provide for a notably more complex, and humane, subject of study than the traditional Homo economicus. Written by economists and philosophers, these essays attempt to place neoclassical economic theory, especially conventional textbook micro-economic theory, in the broader context of other social sciences and modern economics. In doing so, the book aims to find the boundaries of economics and to define more sharply its relationship to other kinds of inquiry. Though the widespread use of textbook microtheory in business, economic, and political analysis is a clear testament to its power, the restrictions and artificialities of neoclassical assumptions give cause for worry even to many economists. This book examines the extent to which the economist's paradigm - that man is characterized chiefly by self-interested goals and rational choice of means - is useful in studying traditional no

Charles Griswold has written a comprehensive philosophical study of Smith's moral and political thought. Griswold sets Smith's work in the context of the Enlightenment and relates it to current discussions in moral and political philosophy. Smith's appropriation as well as criticism of ancient philosophy, and his carefully balanced defence of a liberal and humane moral and political outlook, are also explored. This 1999 book is a major philosophical and historical reassessment of a key figure in the Enlightenment that will be of particular interest to philosophers and political and legal theorists, as well as historians of ideas, rhetoric, and political economy.
