Rationality, Markets and Morals

Studies at the Intersection of Philosophy and Economics

 

Bettina Schöne-Seifert

Not infre­quent­ly, the so-cal­led Rule of Res­cue gets invo­ked as an alle­gedly self-evi­dent cons­traint to the CBE-goal of maxi­mi­zing health bene­fit with a given health bud­get. In this paper this cons­traint is cri­ti­cal­ly ana­ly­zed. It will be argued that some of its impli­ca­ti­ons are worth con­side­ring – but not the inher­ent­ly vague Rule as such.
