Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) is a promising approach to understanding our complex world and addressing contemporary social issues. But what is it? In this book, Mario I. Juarez-Garcia, straightforwardly explains to beginners what PPE is and why it’s so useful. The book uses a unified PPE approach for undergraduate students that differs from a simple combination of moral philosophy, political science, and economics so that the reader can appreciate PPE’s distinct and unique virtues. It focuses on two institutions that have been fundamental in making the world a better place: governments and markets. By the end, the reader can see why finding the right answer to many unprecedented questions is so difficult in a morally diverse society. But the take-away message for students is that it is the diversity of our liberal, Open Societies that has made them prosperous and well worth the frustrations of living in a complex, dynamic and uncertain world. Each chapter begins with short lists of “What You Need to Remember” and ends with “Testing the Reading” questions, helping guide the student reader throughout the book.
