El Analisis Economico Y La Filosofia Moral (SIN COLECCION) - Tapa blanda

El texto se puede ver como un desarrollo sistematico y extenso del programa de Amartya Sen formulado en Sobre etica y economia 1989, en el que se sostiene que una disciplina puede beneficiarse de la otra. Los autores conciben la tarea de demostrar claramente que comprender la filosofia moral puede mejorar el analisis economico. El argumento es de caracter filosofico pero ilustrado con ejemplos tomados de la economia. A partir de la critica del concepto usual de racionalidad economica, los autores muestran la necesidad de ampliar ese concepto a partir de consideraciones de caracter etico. En realidad se trata de una propuesta filosofica de gran alcance para la evaluacion de politicas economicas.
