With the help of this book, readers can gain practice asking moral questions about actions in business and finding answers to those questions. Asked frequently enough, readers will no longer take for granted the answers to questions like "Is this deception?" or "Is it oppression?".

Social Rules is a pioneering effort to bring together perspectives and insights on social rules from philosophers, lawyers, anthropologists, and sociologists, and economists.

Substituting comparative censuses for the hedonistic calculus that figures in standard utilitarianism, Braybrooke excludes gratuitous sacrifices also of happiness short of life-sacrifices.
