Se trata de un review essay. Tiene 4.800 palabras. He decidido hacerlo constar como artículo, pues no se trata de una simple reseña, sino de un ensayo a propósito de la lectura de tres libros. Transcribo una parte que describe el contenido:This short essay stems from reading and reviewing three recent books on this topic: Wilfred Dolfsma and Ioana Negru (eds.), The Ethical Formation of Economists; Peter Rona and Laszlo Zsolnai (eds.), Economics as a Moral Science, and Michael J. Sandel, The Tyranny of Merit. What?s Become of the Common Good? Wilfred Dolfsma and Ioana Negru have compiled eleven essays on the ethical formation of economists. In Economics as a Moral Science, Peter Rona and Laszlo Zsolnai have gathered 18 pieces of writing on the epistemological status of economics as an intrinsically moral science. In his highly interesting book, Michael Sandel tackles a particular topic: a critical appraisal of contemporary meritocratic society.
