Focusing on the integration of values in economic analysis, this collection of essays explores methodological issues and the ethical dimensions of economic inquiry. It addresses the aggregation of personal preferences into collective choices and examines the logical coherence of economic measurement systems related to poverty, inequality, and literacy. While some essays delve into technicalities, they all highlight the significance of moral reasoning and 'ought propositions' in economics, appealing to researchers, students, and policymakers alike.
