Alvin Roth on the Economics of Morally Contested Markets
Nobel laureate Alvin Roth discusses his new book 'Moral Economics' and the concept of morally contested markets—transactions that some people find acceptable and others condemn. He explores how societies should reason about markets for sex work, drugs, organs, and adoption, where simple economic arguments for efficiency are insufficient and moral considerations must be weighed.
