Routledge Handbook of Philosophy Politics and Economics

<p>This handbook advances the interdisciplinary field of Philosophy Politics and Economics (PPE) by identifying thirty-five topics of ongoing research. Instead of focusing on historically significant texts it features experts talking about current debates. Individually each chapter provides a resource for new research. Together the chapters provide a thorough introduction to contemporary work in PPE which makes it an ideal reader for a senior-year course.</p><p>The handbook is organized into seven parts each with its own introduction and five chapters: <br>I. Frameworks<br>II. Decision-Making<br>III. Social Structures<br>IV. Markets<br>V. Economic Systems<br>VI. Distributive Justice<br>VII. Democracy</p><p>The Frameworks part discusses common tools and perspectives in PPE and the Decision-making section shows different approaches to the study of choice. From there parts on Social Structures Markets and Economic Systems each use tools from the three PPE disciplines to study and distinguish parts of society. The next part explains dominant theories and challenges to the paradigm of Distributive Justice. Finally a part on Democracy offers five challenges to current democratic practice. </p>
