Norman Frohlich - Böcker

This book presents an entirely new answer to the question: 'What is fair'? In their radical approach to ethics, Frohlich and Oppenheimer argue that much of the empirical methodology of the natural sciences should be applied to the ethical questions of fairness and justice.

Using the assumptions of rationality and self-interest common to economic analysis, Professors Frohlich, Oppenheimer, and Young develop a profit-making theory of political behavior as it pertains to the supply of collective goods--defense, law and order, clean air, highways. Originally published in 1971.
