This book reflects philosophically about the socio-political dimension of economics.
Part I provides normative reflections on the economy: Section I reflects on the interconnections between the multiple discourses on the economy, section II presents Hegel's claim that the economic order is an ethical institution and defends his ontological view of the economy against the one of Adam Smith. Section III dialogues with economists about their concepts of public and merit goods. This section defends a Hegelian ontology of the economy through an analysis of technical concepts used by economists.
Part II provides applications derived from the normative analysis: Section I presents the views of authors in different academic disciplines pointing to failures in late capitalism, in particular failures of American capitalism and section II asks the question: " What must one pay attention to in a transition from a command economy to a free market?"
Section III draws attention to an overlap of ideas found in Catholic Social Thought and in the publications of some recent Nobel prize winners in economics (Buchanan, Sen, Stiglitz).

From the reviews:
"This book draws heavily on Hegel to outline ethical dimensions of the economy. … The book would be most worthwhile for readers who are interested an argument that Hegel’s ideas are consistent with standard public goods theory, and with Musgrave’s concept of merit goods. … the book may be more appealing to philosophers who are interested in building a bridge between economics and philosophy to consider the role of government in the economy." (Randall G. Holcombe, Public Choice, Vol. 138, 2009)
“This book is a philosophical and ethical reflection on economics. … each chapter is preceded by an orienting abstract that points out the major argument that the chapter develops. … an excellent reading for faculty discussion groups bringing together the social sciences and the humanities.” (John Donovan, The Reviews of Metaphysics, Vol. LXIII (2), December, 2009)
