774.01 Morally Contested Markets

This seminar explores exchanges and transactions that are morally contested and considers whether the markets supporting morally contested transactions should be allowed to function like “regular” markets. Thus, we will consider not only whether the markets for egg donation, abortion services, infant formula, and organs, among others, should exist, but also consider whether the state should seek to ensure that those markets are functioning competitively, to the benefit of consumers and workers. Students will discuss cases and reading selections from law, economics, philosophy, psychology, and sociology.
