The moral economy of inequality: popular views on income differentiation, poverty and wealth (2012, background): “Generally, proponents of the moral economy approach argue that individual actions and attitudes are embedded in a wider horizon of shared norms and values and therefore cannot be understood from a strict rational-action perspective (Booth, 1994; Arnold, 2001; Mau, 2003; Svallfors, 2006; Sayer, 2007)”
Welfare Regimes and the Norms of Social Exchange (2004, background): “The moral economy, therefore, is a popular consensus on the notion of legitimate practices of social exchanges and the allocation of social goods (Arnold, 2001).”
‘Moral economy’: its conceptual history and analytical prospects (2015, background): “Today it offers an antithesis to the ‘rational choice’ imperatives that conflate rationality and utility maximisation in a crude material sense and dominate the present political imagination (Arnold 2001, 85).”
