The Savanna code: what good are morals? -- The rise of wealth: how we became civilized and started shopping -- From Melqart to Zombieworld: adventures in imbalance -- Madness, lies, and crashes: when prices run free -- Blundering back to balance: TARP and tear gas -- China: morals and the rush to wealth -- From Hudson's Bay to eBay: why some people like going to work -- Markets and sin: murder, mega-casinos, and drug wars -- Underworlds: the tao of gangs -- Cooling the earth: the preservation markets -- The world ahead.
Friedman and McNeill draw on recent research in evolutionary game theory and behavioral economics to explore the relationship between our moral codes and our market systems. They show how imbalance between morals and markets is at the root of the recent corporate scandals in the US as well as the global financial crisis the world continues to face. --Amazon.com
