| Title |
Seminar: Markets and Morals |
| Description |
In most countries, selling and buying of kidneys is prohibited, while donating a kidney is seen as a
moral act. This is an example of a “repugnant” or “noxious” market. In this seminar, we will try to
understand why some markets are repugnant, what are the consequences of such repugnance, and
what are the consequences of different policy options with regards to these markets.
Limited slots: Registration in KSL and ILIAS is necessary. (open from 15.01.-06.02.2023)
Book
This seminar is based on the book “Why some things should not be for sale” by Debra Satz, Oxford
University Press, 2010.
