View submission: Suggestions for undergrad readings regarding economics and ethics?
Good to know. Could you elaborate a little bit? Was it just not very interesting? Do you remember anything related which you did like?

I'm by no means an expert, but I'd like to disagree with the other poster. I think putting Satz up as a foil to Sandel would be great for undergrads, and might do that myself when I start teaching my own courses next year.

It was a while ago, but the professor picked her book off of the title and her reputation. He wanted to do a seminar similar to what you're doing, I believe he titled it "A Philosophical Look at Markets." It wasn't that the book was bad. I believe our problem with the book was it felt like she should have went farther at times and just hedged a bit. At other times it felt rather banal. Some of the behavioral economics studies are really cool. Dan Ariely's *Predictably Irrational* has some studies that have moral implications. I can't really remember the other stuff we read because they were all papers or copied chapters.
