GDB No 2:

 

Critics of Adam Smith on Utilitarianism

 

Case:

 

Adam Smith was a Scottish moral philosopher and he worked on political economy. His famous book “The Wealth of Nations” considered as the pioneer in providing the fundamental grounds for ethical and moral perspective of economies and established the criterion of redefining the meaning of Utility.

 

Utilitarianism is a theory in normative ethics holding that the proper course of action is the one that maximizes utility, usually defined as maximizing total benefit and reducing suffering or the negatives. This theory is an economic analysis that is human-centered (or anthropocentric) and has a moral foundation (Goodstein, 2011).

 

 

Question:

 

You have learned this concept in detail. Adam Smith has some assumptions and his arguments are based on these postulates.  You are required to identify those areas which are highlighted by Adam Smith in the course of morality and ethics for a society as a whole.

The Wealth of Nations

An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, generally referred to by its shortened title The Wealth of Nations, is the magnum opus of the Scottish economist and moral philosopher Adam Smith. First published in 1776, the book offers one of the world's first collected descriptions of what builds nations' wealth and is today a fundamental work in classical economics. Through reflection over the economics at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution the book touches upon such broad topics as thedivision of labor, productivity, and free markets.

Dear Please stop posting the irrelevant material which is confusing so many students also the link which you are giving for the books ,it only contains the index of the book not the whole book .

I think we should discuss to solve the GDB rather just copy pasting material from internet.

If you have understood something from the material which you have posted I will appreciate you should discuss that so students can get any clue to start doing GDB.
