Sen argues that welfare economics may be enriched by paying more attention to ethics, that modern ethical studies can also benefit from a closer contact with descriptive economics, which, in turn, may learn from the methods of welfare economics. Num Pages: 148 pages, 0. BIC Classification: HPQ; JKSB; KCA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 216 x 140 x 12.

In this elegant critique, Amartya Sen argues that welfare economics can be enriched by paying more explicit attention to ethics, and that modern ethical studies can also benefit from a closer contact with economies. He argues further that even predictive and descriptive economics can be helped by making more room for welfare-economic considerations in the explanation of behaviour.
