Bernard Soulier syndrome
Key Clinical Message Bernard Soulier Syndrome should be suspected in patients with bleeding disorder symptoms and significant family history, where consanguineous marriages are common. Diagnosis can be confirmed using a ristocetin test and a peripheral blood smear.
Democracy & “Noxious” Markets
How should a new political economy conceive of the role of markets in a just society? Markets clearly play an important role in efficiently allocating labor and goods, disseminating information, enabling cooperation among people who disagree with one another about how to live, and allowing individuals ‘ choices about where to direct their talents and resources. But acknowledging that markets play an important role does not mean that this role is …
In Defense of A Mandatory Public Service Requirement
This paper defends mandatory national service as a response to democratic decay. Because democracy cannot be maintained by laws and incentives alone, citizens must care about the quality and attitudes of their society's members. In an age of increasing segregation and conflict on the basis of class and race, national service can bring citizens from different walks of life together to interact cooperatively on social problems. It offers a form of …
Unfair advantage and exploitation
One of Erik Olin Wright’s important contributions was to characterize exploitation in a particular way, as consisting of three interlocking features: STRUCTURAL: a situation where the positive welf
Ethics and, in , and for Labor Markets
The fact that labor markets have endogenous effects, that labor contracts are incomplete, and that workers and owners have some conflicting interests, distinguishes them from other types of markets such as markets in wheat or gadgets. In this chapter, we explore the consequences of the special nature of labor markets for three specific issues: unemployment, the rise of the gig economy, and the nature and organization of work in a just society. Ea…

The Challenges of Incorporating Cultural Ecosystem Services into Environmental Assessment
Markets, Privatization, and Corruption
How might concerns about the privatization of government services relate to corruption? I distinguish three conceptions of corruption and highlight their different implications for the privatization of such traditional government services as military services, security and prisons
Unequal chances
This article compares a demanding conception of educational adequacy with the Rawlsian idea of fair equality of opportunity. It defends fair equality of opportunity against criticisms, but argues that it needs to be explicitly anchored in a theory of equal citizenship.
Voluntary Slavery and the Limits of the Market
This paper considers the normative assessment of bonded labor from the perspectives of libertarianism and Paretian welfare economics. I argue that neither theory can account for our objections to bonded labor arrangements; moreover, they fail in interesting ways. Reflecting on their normative failures focuses us on other considerations besides individual choice and efficiency. Such considerations include: the effects of labor markets on workers' …
Measuring the Quality of Life in the U.S
Per capita gross domestic product (GDP) is not the best indicator of a nation's well-being. A nation can be relatively wealthy, but many of its people may be living under circumstances of misery and deprivation. Some people may be unable to transform their own wealth into things that really matter to them (think of those with severe disabilities or ill health); background social arrangements may have significant causal effects on individual well-…
Equality, Adequacy, and Educational Policy
In this article I argue that the distinction between an adequate education and an equal education has been overdrawn. In my view, a certain type of equality—civic equality—is internal to the idea of educational adequacy. An education system that completely separates the children of the poor and minorities from those of the wealthy and middle class cannot be adequate for a democratic society. Educational adequacy should be tied to the requirements…
Toward a humanist justice
Okin argued that liberalism, properly understood as a theory opposed to social hierarchies and supportive of individual freedom and equality, provided the tools for criticizing the substantial and systematic inequalities between men and women.
Liberalism, Economic Freedom, and the Limits of Markets
This paper points to a lost and ignored strand of argument in the writings of liberalism's earliest defenders. These “classical” liberals recognized that market liberty was not always compatible with individual liberty. In particular, they argued that labor markets required intervention and regulation if workers were not to be wholly subjugated to the power of their employers. Functioning capitalist labor markets (along with functioning credit ma…

What Do We Owe the Global Poor
In his provocative book World Poverty and Human Rights , Thomas Pogge employs two distinct argumentative strategies. The first is ecumenical: Pogge makes powerful arguments for redressing world poverty that aim to appeal to persons with divergent views regarding its causes, and also for the nature and extent of our obligations to the global poor. This is an extremely important part of his book: World Poverty and Human Rights argues that on any re…
Unification, universalism, and rational choice theory
Green and Shapiro's critique of rational choice theory underestimates the value of unification and the necessity of universalism in science. The central place of intentionality in social life makes both unification and universalism feasible norms in social science. However, "universalism" in social science may be partial, in that the independence hypothesis—that the causal mechanism governing action is context independent—may hold only locally in…
Rational Choice and Social Theory
