Markets are often seen as invisible, silent forces that shape our lives in profound ways. They determine the goods and services available to us, the prices we pay, and even the jobs we can do.

Some of the key questions the book addresses include: What are the ethical obligations of businesses in a market economy?How can we ensure that markets serve the common good rather than enriching a select few? What role should government play in regulating markets and promoting ethical behavior?
