Playing the Market by Sam Cameron: order direct from Amazon or from Amazon UK

Oddly the blurb at Amazon relates to a different book by a different Sam Cameron, about car-crashes:

"We are surrounded daily with crashing vehicles, economies, computers and bodies. At the intersection of speed, development, design and automation, the crash punctuates cultural and technological change with the automated mundanity of death, risk and destruction ... This volume aims therefore ... to offer accounts of the significance of these extreme yet banal moments."

The Economics of Sin by Sam Cameron: order direct from Amazon or from Amazon UK

The Economics of Sin examines the definition and evolution of sin from the perspective of rational choice economics ... the book considers the formation of religions, including the new age revival of 'wicca' ... appraise[s] the role of specific sins such as lying, envy, jealousy, greed, lust, sloth, and waste in individual markets and in macroeconomic activity. Empirical evidence on issues such as cannibalism, capital punishment, addiction, adultery and prostitution is also explored. 

This innovative, interdisciplinary study of the institution of sin will be of enormous interest to a wide-ranging readership, including researchers and teachers of economics, sociology and theology. It will also be of importance for anthropologists and philosophers.
