About the Blog

I shall post videos, graphs, news stories, and other material. We shall use some of this material in class, and you may review the rest at your convenience. I encourage you to use the blog in these ways:

--To post questions or comments about the readings before we discuss them in class;
--To follow up on class discussions with additional comments or questions.
--To post relevant news items or videos.

There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see.

Tragic Choices, Equity, and Nonmarket Failure

"Ignorance or innocence is lost and we are now faced with the fact that, no matter how we choose, some living people will be killed as a result of our choice." -- Guido Calebresi and Philip Bobbitt, Tragic Choices, p. 47
Disability and the Dilemma of Difference
Hate Crime Laws

Markets and Non-Markets
  • Externalities and public goods v. "internalities" and private goods
  • Increasing returns v. redundant and rising costs
  • Market imperfections v. derived externalities
  • Inequity of income & weath v. inequity of influence & power
