Price Gouging and Market Failure --IndexThis volume brings together distinguished philosophers with interdisciplinary expertise to show how the resources of philosophy can be employed in the tasks of evaluating economics and fostering policy debates. Contributors offer analyses of basic ideas in economics, such as the notion of efficiency, "economic man", incentives, self-interest, and utility maximization. They discuss key concepts in political theory such as desert, compensation, autonomy, equality, consent or fairness. The book then offers examples of how philosophical resources can be applied to specific, timely debates, such as discrimination, affirmative action, and ethical considerations in Social Security. These applications demonstrate how philosophy, politics, and economics can be fruitfully combined, while the more theoretical chapters clarify fundamental relationships across these related disciplines. Ultimately, the text guides students and scholars in expanding their perspectives as they approach the necessarily complex research questions of today and tomorrow.Political ethicsPhilosophyPolitical scienceMoral and ethical aspectsEconomicsPhilosophyEconomicsElectronic books.Political ethicsPhilosophyPolitical scienceMoral and ethical aspectsEconomicsPhilosophyEconomics330.01Favor Christiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtGaus Geraldedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtLamont Julianedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910459094903321Essays on Philosophy, Politics & Economics2457436UNINA
