Comments on: Moral Philosophy’s role in economics http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2009/03/18/moral-philosophys-role-in-economics/ The Visible Hand in Economics Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:17:52 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Matt Nolan http://www.tvhe.co.nz/2009/03/18/moral-philosophys-role-in-economics/#comment-18608 Tue, 31 Mar 2009 19:17:52 +0000 http://www.tvhe.co.nz/?p=3272#comment-18608 @Tom M

Indeed, I’m sure it can’t hurt to read it. Only problem is that after the first chapter I realised I had already read part of this earlier – now I need to find the motivation to go back through it again 😛

I will have to do that book club thing with it at some point – that was a sharp idea 😉

A useful introduction though, and provides heaps of useful future reading tips.

Book club – good idea. It might be a few weeks away – as there are other things I have to read and the such. But I’ll definitely give that a think 😉

I would be very keen to do that for the anthology – really enjoyed those essays, especially the more modern ones. I think my least favourite was Veblen – I’ve always felt that institutionalists sort of miss the point 😉

Maybe a ‘book club’ on here might help me get through it. Also bought the anthology, started reading but stalled.

Dang. Well, I’ve blown the dosh now so I might as well read it – I know I shouldn’t consider sunk costs, but I just can’t help it 😉

A lot of it seemed to rely on a pretty superficial treatment of both economics and moral philosophy. There is some interesting stuff and it would be a good place to start considering some of the issues. Reading people like Sen, Buchanan, Hayek, and de Jasay has proved much more useful to me. Given that you already think like an economist, I would even recommend just jumping into straight moral philosophy: you’re going to use your economic understanding to make sense of the issues and you’ll get a decent synthesis anyway.
