Moral Boundaries in Political Economy

Moral considerations are deeply intertwined with economics and politics. However, economists have traditionally paid little attention to morality. Join the Stigler Center for a seminar with Benjamin Enke (Harvard), where he outlines the growing economics literature on the relationship between economics and morality, the different approaches to morality, and how these impact politico-economic outcomes. Enke will highlight how the analytical toolkit of economics has facilitated progress in the study of morality and politics, thus illuminating a wide range of important issues, such as voter behavior, policy preferences, and beyond.
