Value in Ethics and Economics. By Elizabeth Anderson. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1993.

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 March 2020

Abstract

In this review, I try to sketch out and evaluate briefly Anderson's new theory of value. I then focus on the social and dialogical account of rationality tied to her value theory and argue that it will be unable to rule out racism as neatly as Anderson sometimes implies. Still, this failure allows her theory to account for the complexity of racism, and points us in promising directions.
