"An exceptionally clear, well-argued, and blessedly jargon-free book to answer the question 'Why be moral?'... This book ... far richer than can be detailed here, should be read by anyone interested in contemporary ethics and/or rational choice theory. Highly recommended."--Choice "A compelling, commonsensical look at a difficult issue... The book is clearly written... It avoids obscurity and technical terminology so as to render it intelligible even to those unfamiliar with the issues."--Canadian Philosophical Review
