Moral Economics

Moral Economics examines contentious issues such as contraception, abortion, drugs, blood plasma, and organ donation through the lens of market design and economic trade-offs. Alvin E. Roth argues that some exchanges should neither be left entirely to markets nor simply banned, but shaped through rules that aim to reduce harm and protect rights.

The book offers a framework for understanding debates where moral, religious, and public policy concerns overlap. It will appeal to readers interested in economics, ethics, and the design of institutions that govern difficult social choices.
