Philosophy, Politics, and Economics: An Anthology

Philosophy, Politics, and Economics: An Anthology

The only book on the market to include classical and contemporary readings from key authors in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE), this unique anthology provides a comprehensive overview of the central topics in this rapidly expanding field. Each chapter opens with an introduction that helps students understand the central arguments and key concepts in the readings. The selections encourage students to think about the extent to which the three disciplines offer complementary or contradictory ways of approaching the relevant issues. Philosophy, Politics, and Economics: An Anthology is ideal for undergraduate PPE programs and courses in political philosophy and political economy. "This book is an exceptionally well-developed and well-conceived anthology. It offers wide coverage, contains both foundational and applied articles, and includes more technical and more 'fun' work. It's something that an instructor could use in introductory and also advanced courses. The readings in this anthology are at the core of what it means to be an educated person."--Jason Brennan, Georgetown University "Not simply an excellent Philosophy, Politics, and Economics reader, this anthology would also be the only one suitable for a gateway PPE course. For someone who doesn't want to design his or her syllabus from scratch, this reader offers a fantastic ready-made one."--Elizabeth Anderson, University of Michigan The first comprehensive anthology of classical and contemporary readings in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Jonathan Anomaly is Lecturer in the Duke-UNC program in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics.
