Summary: In this book, part of the prestigious Themes in Economics series, eminent economists and philosophers examine the social and ethical limits to free markets in the era of globalization. The contributors identify areas where the two seemingly dogmatic disciplines-economics and philosophy-overlap. They contend that the social and ethical misgivings about globalization can be redressed by an efficient system of global governance based on a new set of global ethics that espouses shared values and principles. Dealing with critical issues that have been the focus of social debates in recent years, the contributors use analytical tools of economics and philosophy to study: limitations of markets as an instrument of decision-making the impact of globalization on culture, and the nature of culture itself foundational principles in the formulation of public policy adverse effects of 'commodification' of all goods and services the paradox of widespread poverty despite the prevalence of affluence in 'modern' societies debates on the morality of child labour and ethical issues relating to allocation of scarce resources, such as human organs
