Description

Economic Analysis, Moral Philosophy, and Public Policy by Daniel Hausman, Michael McPherson, and Debra Satz is a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between economics, moral philosophy, and public policy. The book delves into the connections between rationality, ethics, and welfare, arguing that economists' formal models often rely on contestable moral principles. It also examines the nature and measurement of welfare, utilitarianism, and cost-benefit analysis, as well as freedom, rights, equality, and justice - key concepts relevant to evaluating policies. Through its exploration of social choice theory and game theory, this book sheds light on how moral decision-making can be informed by economic analysis. With recommended reading and discussion questions, Economic Analysis, Moral Philosophy, and Public Policy provides a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the complex relationships between economics, ethics, and public policy.
