Pointing out the problems with Pennington‘s Hayekian formulation, I reframe his argument as an extension of the Millian idea of ―experiments in living.‖ However, the experimental case for decentralization is limited in several ways. Even if decentralization i...

Distributive justice concerns how individuals and societies distribute income in a just or equal manner. We aimed to test the roles of social preference in behavioral distributive justice. We thus provide evidence of a causal link between the neural and behavioral results through the application of bilateral transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the temporoparietal junction (TPJ) ...

The allocation of resources to providers and the way in which the resources are then prioritised to specific service areas and patients remain the critical ethical decisions which determine the type of health system a community receives.
