The Landscape Of Morality In Economics

Interfluidity addresses it:

Individual human beings act against their material interests all the time, providing full employment for economists who endlessly study the "ultimatum game". Political choice combines diffuse personal costs with powerful moral signifiers. We should expect politics, including the politics that determines economic policy, to be dripping with moralism. And sure enough, it is! This doesn’t mean that policy outcomes are actually moral. (There’s a hypothesis we can falsify quickly.) But exhortations to policy that cannot survive in terms of moral framing are nullities.
