Legal Morality and Economics [To be completed]
The conjunction of law, morality and economics is a thorny one, raising a dichotomies in so many, many issues, including:
- individual rights of self-determination vs. desirable social outcomes,
- subjective and relative morality vs. "objective" morality and inalienable natural principles
- the paucity of realiable indicators and yardsticks by which to make decisions
We'll cover, in point form again, some thesis on these issues, with a topical references to the Uniquely Singapore issues: the casino and gay rights. Meanwhile, I'm still working on it.
