A Compelling but Somewhat Dated Book

Unlike many behavioral economics books, this one does venture a bit into some structural issues, in this case those that shape ethical decisions. Most is still focused on summarizing research on that topic, and it does a good job of that. However, since publication many of the papers that are referred to have failed to replicate/been discredited, so if you're unfamiliar with the field you probably should read something more recent. That being said, if you're up on the literature this is a quick, useful read. Highly recommend
