Economics of A Scale

Logically Consistent Measure of Right Versus Wrong

Posted on April 27, 2014 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, what most of us consider wrong, depends on whether we identify with one or the other actor. While this is perfectly human, being subjective, it is not a good measure of good … Continue reading →

The Honor System
