Moral Economy
Moral Economics is the book, written by a Nobel Prize-winning economist, that explains why we disagree so strongly about what is right or wrong on major social, economic and political issues: contraception and abortion, in vitro fertilisation, the use of dangerous substances, prostitution or even the possibility of paying someone to donate an organ. The debates become intense because both sides have well-structured arguments shaped by absolute moral or religious convictions.
Alvin E. Roth proposes a different perspective: to view these dilemmas as financial markets, complex systems whose design is the work of a renowned expert, showing us who receives what on each side and helping us to form an informed, tested, conscious position that avoids absolute options.
The ideal book for anyone who wants to understand the world and what is at stake in the choices we make.
