Description
Elizabeth Anderson offers a new theory of value and rationality that challenges traditional approaches to ethics and economics. Her pluralist account rejects cost-benefit analysis in our social lives, providing a fresh perspective for assessing the ethical limitations of the market. Anderson applies her ideas to several contemporary controversies, including commercial surrogate motherhood, privatization of public services, and environmental protection. This thought-provoking book explores complex issues through a nuanced examination of values, rational action, and the role of the market. Through seven in-depth chapters, Anderson develops a comprehensive theory that goes beyond traditional theories of justice and welfare economics. With its unique blend of philosophical insight and practical analysis, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in ethics, economics, or philosophy.
