- Demsetz argues that many market failure arguments are wrong because they ignore that real life is complicated. Pointing out that with uncertainty, the market doesn’t know the perfect amount to invest, does not mean that the government can better determine the perfect amount to invest.

D. Ross, who rejected utilitarianism as an ethical approach. Ross felt that utilitarianism was too simplistic and did not align with how people ordinarily think about morality and obligations in real-world situations. The quote indicates that while utilitarianism provides a basic framework, Ross believed a more complex account was needed to capture ethics adequately in a diverse society. Different normative theories have their strengths and limitations, and reasonable people can disagree on these complex philosophical issues. Essentially, I believe in the golden rule which encourages people to have empathy, goodwill, and respect toward all others. It promotes ethical and considerate behavior by appealing to our own self-interest in fair and compassionate treatment. please help resond to this discussion postarrow_forward

First, what factors do you think go into estimating the benefits of $1500 per vaccine. This is kind of a brainstorming question – but it is worth points so don’t skip it. b.
