Economics and Human Rights: A Non-conversation

Author

Listed:
  • Sanjay Reddy

Abstract

Advocates or analysts of human rights and mainstream economists can find it difficult to communicate, let alone to arrive at agreement—when they communicate at all. Why is their dialogue non-existent or vexed? This paper identifies three deep-seated conceptual reasons. An improved dialogue can lead to better conceptual foundations in both disciplines and enable them better to guide action.
