Morality is the organization of life, Perry announces at the start, and the metaphor is economic. His chapters treat goodness as the efficient organization of interests, and moral progress as better management of the whole human estate. Early pragmatist ethics, crisp and constructive. Value theory before the field even had a name.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
