Computing Morality: A Computer Scientist's Approach Ethics and Economics

by Benjamin Chang

This book uses powerful concepts borrowed from computer science and a myriad of real-world examples to help the reader think clearly and logically in our politically-polarized environment. Principles of computer science are used to build an all-encompassing ethical and economic framework for how humans can be productive, live decently, and protect their freedoms. Because it is paramount to create systems free from any contradiction in the realm of computer science, concepts from this field are key to developing consistent ethical models required in our complex, modern economy. Briefly addressing currently accepted policies as examples of how freedoms can be trampled when political systems disregard the ethics they exist to protect… the book stresses the importance of thinking rigorously and consistently in all manners of ethics and economics, and why it is crucial to cherish and protect our liberties and freedoms.
