Books like On ethics and economics by Amartya Sen


Amartya Sen, renowned economist and philosopher, critiques the separation between ethics and economics that has characterized modern economic analysis, transforming it into a science focused solely on efficient resource allocation. Drawing on the idea that the rationality of a group affects the actual behavior of individuals within the same group, Sen argues that the economy can be more productive as a social science when ethical considerations are explicitly acknowledged and considered. Sen's critique challenges the prevailing view that economic analysis is devoid of moral and ethical dimensions.
