Does a consumer who bought a shirt made in another nation bear any
moral responsibility when the women who sewed that shirt die in a
factory fire or in the collapse of the building? Many have
asserted, without explanation, that because markets cause harms to
distant others, consumers bear moral responsibility for those
harms. But traditional moral analysis of individual decisions is
unable to sustain this argument. Distant Harms, Distant Markets
presents a careful analysis of moral complicity in markets,
employing resources from sociology, Christian history, feminism,
legal theory, and Catholic moral theology today. Because of its
individualistic methods, mainstream economics as a discipline is
not equipped to understand the causality entailed in the long
chains of social relationships that make up the market. Critical
realist sociology, however, has addressed the character and
functioning of social structures, an analysis that can helpfully be
applied to the market. The True Wealth of Nations research project
of the Institute for Advanced Catholic Studies brought together an
international group of sociologists, economists, moral theologians,
and others to describe these causal relationships and articulate
how Catholic social thought can use these insights to more fully
address issues of economic ethics in the twenty-first century. The
result was this interdisciplinary volume of essays, which explores
the causal and moral responsibilities that consumers bear for the
harms that markets cause to distant others.
