Value in Ethics and Economics

by Elizabeth S. Anderson

Book Overview

Women as commercial baby factories, nature as an economic resource, life as one big shopping mall: this is what we get when we use the market as a common measure of value. Elizabeth Anderson offers an altemative - a new theory of value and rationality that rejects cost-benefit analysis in our social lives and in our ethical theories.
