Summary: Writing a book on ethics in finance is a special challenge. The difficulty does not arise from a lack of subject matter, despite the cynical view that there is no ethics in finance. To the contrary, financial activity is governed by detailed rules, and a high level of integrity is expected of people who bear great respon-sibility. As a field of study, however, finance ethics is barely formed, and so the first task for a writer in this area is to define the subject. Whereas most textbooks present standard material, this one is forced by necessity to be original. Hopefully, Ethics in Finance will help create the field of finance ethics.
