Why Nobelists Fail
Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson and James Robinson, the winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics, have been heralded as developers of major new insights in the field of institutional economics, helping to explain the basis of economic prosperity in the long run, and offering an understanding of the role of colonialism and imperialism in the making of the modern world. This essay argues that their approach is excessively narrow, based as it is o…
Beyond property or beyond Piketty
Capital and Ideology represents a significant further statement from Thomas Piketty. The arguments made by the "New Piketty" are largely compatible with those of his previous Capital in the Twenty-First Century, but reflect broadening of scope and deepening of causal analysis, most markedly through the adoption of a world historical perspective. The result is a fuller offering for understanding inequality's pattern in the world, why it exists and…
Population health, economics and ethics in the age of Covid-19
Are the steps that have been taken to arrest the spread of COVID-19 justifiable? Specifically, are they likely to have improved public health understood according to widely used aggregate population health measures, such as Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) and Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) as much or more than alternatives? This is a reasonable question, since such measures have been promoted extensively in global and national health …

A Day
The World Bank claims global poverty will soon fall below 10 per cent, but do its figures deserve their international legitimacy? Sanjay Reddy and Rahul Lahoti probe the assumptions and methodologies on which the Bank’s assertions are based, and suggest an alternative
Randomise This! On Poor Economics
Few volumes in contemporary economics have been more lauded, and have summarised a zeitgeist, as much as Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo’s Poor Economics.1 The book has received prominent international prizes (The Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year, for example), and been widely read, reviewed, and praised, including by leading economists and philanthropists.2 It is a capstone of the authors’ work, representing their ef…
Kernel density estimation on grouped data
Economics and Human Rights
Advocates or analysts of human rights and mainstream economists can find it difficult to communicate, let alone to arrive at agreement—when they communicate at all. Why is their dialogue non‐existent or vexed? This paper identifies three deep‐seated conceptual reasons. An improved dialogue can lead to better conceptual foundations in both disciplines and enable them better to guide action
Inequalities between Groups
Real Income Stagnation of Countries 1960–2001
This paper examines the phenomenon of real-income stagnation (in which real-income growth is uninterruptedly negligible or negative for a sizable sequence of years). We analyse data for four decades from a large cross-section of countries. Real income stagnation is a conceptually distinct phenomenon from low average growth and other features of the growth sequence that have been previously considered. We find that real income stagnation has affec…
International Trade and Labor Standards
Progressive governments in poor countries fear that if they undertake measures to enhance real wages and working conditions, rising labor costs would cause wealthier countries to import from and invest elsewhere. Yet if the world trading system were designed to facilitate or even reward measures to promote labor standards, poor countries could undertake them without fear. In this book, Christian Barry and Sanjay G. Reddy propose ways in which the…
International Debt
Present arrangements governing the accumulation and discharge of debt by states are difficult to justify fully on the basis of underlying normative considerations. States are different from individuals in important respects, and the deontological justifications that explain why individuals have a strong burden to abide by promises to repay do not straightforwardly apply to countries. Consequentialist considerations must play a central role in det…

Death in China
Does the PRC’s staggering economic growth confirm the thesis that ‘wealthier is healthier’? Using life expectancy data from three decades, Sanjay Reddy measures China’s advances against those of other countries—and finds explanations for its relatively poor performance in the marketization of health care and shrinkage of state spending since 1980
Peer and Partner Review
A number of strategies to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and associated cost estimates have recently been presented, most influentially by the Millennium Project and the World Bank. The models underlying the recommended strategies are flawed, as a result of their reliance on implausible and restrictive assumptions and poor quality data and their failure adequately to reflect uncertainties about the future. These weaknesses of tec…
Developing Just Monetary Arrangements
International monetary arrangements–the practices and rules governing the creation, distribution, and management of money and credit in the world economy–have received little attention from philosophers concerned with international distributive justice. A convincing account of international distributive justice requires a description of how these arrangements should function. International monetary arrangements currently appear to have consequenc…
The Dilemmas of Globalization
An abstract is not available for this content so a preview has been provided. Please use the Get access link above for information on how to access this content
Claims to expert knowledge and the subversion of democracy
We live increasingly in a ‘risk society’, Characterized by the multiplication and increasing unpredictability of risks, as well as by our enhanced consciousness of them. Claims on the part of expert bureaucracies to possess superior abilities to anticipate and managerisks are increasingly suspect in public perceptions. This suspicion is legitimate. The history of economics is revealing in this respect. The triumph within econmics of the notion of…
An Independent Press Working Against Famine
The proposition that an independent press can play an extremely positive rôle in focusing attention on, and directing a response to, a food-crisis situation has been put forth by Amartya Sen, who has attempted to explain differential successes in preventing famines partly on this basis, 1 supported convincingly in the Indian context by N. Ram, 2 editor of the influential newspaper, The Hindu (Madras). As a contribution to the evidence in favour o…
How Not to Count the Poor
What has been happening to the living standards of poor people in the world lies at the heart of the globalization debate. Indeed, as Amartya Sen has recently argued, the real concern of the so-called "anti-globalization" protestors is surely not globalization per se, for these protests are amongst the most globalized events in the modern world; rather, their concerns seem to stem in large part from the continuing deprivations and rising disparit…
