Reviews"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, "This book is an exceptionally well-developed and well-conceived anthology.
