examing the insights of the economic anthropologists in understanding both the market and
development. We will also speculate about some themes that come into focus later in the
course, such as the idea of (international) social justice.

Reading
Nancy Fraser Re-Framing Justice New Left Review 36 (2005). A problematic essay, but one that seeks a critical and synoptic approach to the idea of global justice. Different in many respects from Sen and Pogge, coming, as it does, out of a combination of feminism, post Marxism and cultural theory. Does Friday manage to hold together the various elements of her critique?

“Ensuring the freedom of association and collective bargaining can go a long way toward
promoting labour market efficiency and better economic performance. And there are obvious
economic and social reasons for banning slavery and all forms of forced labour.”
