The Economics of Morally Contested Markets
https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2026/05/11/353-alvin-roth-on-the-economics-of-morally-contested-markets/
Alvin Roth discusses his new book, Moral #Economics, and the world of repugnant transactions. He explores why certain exchanges—like organ donation, sex work, or surrogacy—provoke such strong moral discomfort that society often seeks to ban them entirely.
#MarketDesign can solve life-and-death problems while navigating the complex boundary between efficiency and #ethics.
