Summary:  "Investing in vice can be profitable, but individuals and mutual funds have been reluctant to invest in this type of stock. Who would take pride in supporting the tobacco industry? What social responsibilities do investors bear with respect to compulsive gamblers who have lost so much money that suicide becomes an attractive option? Canada the Good considers more than five hundred years of debates and regulation that have conditioned Canadians' attitudes towards certain vices. Early European settlers implemented a Christian moral order that regulated sexual behaviour, gambling, and drinking. Later, some transgressions were diagnosed as health issues but those who refused the label of illness argued that behaviours formerly deemed as vices were within the range of normal human behaviour. Moral regulation has changed over time. Some debates have almost disappeared and others persist. The author illustrates the complexity over time of various forms of social regulation and the control of vice"--Provided by publisher.
