This book is suited for readers interested in philosophy, economics, and ethics, particularly those seeking a thoughtful critique of modern economic principles and their moral implications.

This book is aimed at presenting a common-sense, first-principles, philosophical perspective on a vital subject that seems to have lost its way. There is such a thing as justice, there is such a thing as truth; and these two need not be lost forever.

We are going to be doing a podcast with John Tippett and will have a social media campaign to accompany this book's release.

Description

Everyone wants to be happy... don’t they? Everyone seeks fulfilment in life... don’t they? Unfortunately, this is not the common state in life today, and much is due to the human failing of greed. This book offers a solution.

Science explains and understands the world of matter, and philosophy explains and understands the world of spirit. Economics is the meeting place of these two worlds. Tippett provides the bridge between these two realms. It is necessary to do so, to ensure the rule of justice.

A Philosopher's Take on Economics is aimed at presenting a common-sense, first-principles, philosophical perspective on a vital subject that seems to have lost its way. There is such a thing as justice, there is such a thing as truth; and these two need not be lost forever.
