In a recent article, "Can One Both Contribute to and Benefit from Herd Immunity?", Lucie White (2021) argues that vaccine refusal is more like free riding than we have claimed that it is. Here, we critically reply to White’s arguments.

This is an interview by the Erasmus Journal for Philosophy and Economics with Ian Carter. The interview covers Carter's intellectual biography; his extensive writings on the measurement and value of freedom; his reflections on the use of formal methods in philosophical work on freedom and in political philosophy more broadly; his more recent work on basic equality and respect for persons; and, finally, his advice to young scholars.

Economic Knowledge in Socialism, 1945 – 89 , edited by Till Düppe and Ivan Boldyrev, is a collection of twelve essays exploring the discussions and challenges of economic scholarship produced in the communist regimes of the Eastern Bloc. In putting together this excellent collection, Düppe and Boldyrev build on their extensive expertise in the history and philosophy of science. The essays are diverse in terms of their historical and geographic context and in terms of the dynamics, and the unique challenges, they capture. Each essay can be interpreted as a study of two tightly connected themes: the influence of the socioeconomic regime on the direction of economic scholarship and the institutional challenges confronted in the creation of economic knowledge. Effectively, each chapter provides a unique perspective on the importance of the institutional context in which economic knowledge is produced and the role that the consolidation of political power plays in shaping social science. These contributions make the collection an intellectual thrill for scholars inter-ested in the influence of politics on economic scholarship, the history of socialism, and the history of economic thought. The volume will be easily accessible to readers already familiar with the post-World War II history of Eastern and Central Europe; though, others might need to occasionally refer to additional sources, as the chapters vary in the knowledge they require for full comprehension.

Why choose less money over more when no one is watching? A central tenet of economics is that this behaviour can be explained by intrinsic motivation. But what does intrinsic motivation entail? What encourages it? This paper answers these questions through a Smithian lens: moral motivation includes not only a naturally strong love of praise and dread of blame but also a natural, and stronger, love of being worthy of praise and dread of being worthy of blame, even if neither is necessarily given. I rely on quantitative and qualitative data from economic experiments to illustrate this claim. While the current scholarship on Smith has applied his theory to situations in which our actions either evoke reactions from others or have monetary consequences for them, I extend his insights to receiver games (Tjøtta 2019) and dice-rolling games (Fischbacher and Föllmi-Heusi 2013) aimed at eliciting self-regarding concerns, that is, actions affecting the interests of only ourselves. I argue that these games accentuate the strength of the love of praiseworthiness in guiding behaviour, emphasising its immediate reference to others and foundation in intentions along with outcomes.

This article discusses the role played by interpersonal comparisons (of utility or goodness) in matters of justice and equity. The role of such interpersonal comparisons has initially been made explicit in the context of social choice theory through the concept of extended preferences. Social choice theorists have generally claimed that extended preferences should be taken as being uniform across a population. Three related claims are made within this perspective. First, though it is sometimes opposed to social choice theory, the social contract approach may also consider the possibility of interpersonal comparisons. This is due to the fact that justice principles may be partially justified on a teleological basis. Second, searching for the uniformity of interpersonal comparisons is both hopeless and useless. In particular, moral disagreement does not originate in the absence of such uniformity. Third, interpersonal comparisons should be accounted for both in social choice and social contract theories in terms of sympathetic identification based on reciprocal respect and tolerance, where each person’s conception of the good partially takes care of others’ good. From the moral point of view, any person’s conception of the good should thus be ‘extended’ to others’ personal conceptions. This extension is, however, limited due to the inherent limitations in sympathetic identification and is a long way from guaranteeing the uniformity assumed by social choice theorists.
