Synopsis

Explore how ethical choices meet economic limits. This study shows how the idea of Total Utility shapes everyday decision making.

This nonfiction work examines how people judge actions when they weigh unlimited, spiritual aims against real-world limits. It frames ethical life as an ongoing dialogue between infinite personal development and finite supply, showing how economic thinking can inform or constrain moral judgments.

  • Learn the difference between ethical and economic judgments and how they connect.
  • See how the self is imagined as both infinite in value and finite in resources.
  • Explore how scarcity, goods, and markets influence everyday decisions.
  • Consider how education, habit, and social relations shape our judgments of worth.
Ideal for readers of philosophy, economics, and ethics seeking a clear view of how values and resources interact in real life.
