The Morality Gap in Markets Economists often speak of the invisible hand guiding markets towards equilibrium through self interest. But what happens when that pursuit crosses moral boundaries?

Roth examines contentious topics like prostitution and organ sales, raising uncomfortable questions about the morality of market transactions.
