Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A leading interdisciplinary work that brings together economic analysis and moral philosophy to inform the evaluation of public policies. Hausman and McPherson show how moral philosophy can improve economists’ analytical models and how economic tools can illuminate ethical issues in policy debates. The book explores rationality and its moral foundations, welfare and utilitarian principles, and core ethical concepts such as freedom, rights, equality, and justice. It also introduces technical work in social choice theory and game theory relevant to ethical decision‑making, with examples and discussion questions that link abstract theory to real policy challenges.
