Abstract
This chapter contains brief synopses of 16 philosophers or economists that contributed greatly to the current understanding of ethics in the fields of economics and public policy. Very few fields outside of philosophy have the inclination to pick up the works of such authors, despite the incredible contributions that such scholars have on the day to day lives of each of us. In order to take the first step toward surmounting that hurdle, we have assembled a collection that contains enough information to give the reader a taste of 16 different points of view. Each scholar has a brief note on their biographical details and the world they lived in, followed by a discussion of their most notable achievements. Finally, the policy implications which have had the biggest impact on current understanding and practice are mentioned in order to gain perspective on why we bother studying these men.
