New book chapter out in this edited volume on organ markets.

My chapter discusses theories of justice and controversial markets, focusing on how economic inequality shapes which markets are problematic.

Now that I don't have an institutional affiliation, I am going to set up a website to share the work I've published over the years. Any suggestions for tools to build a simple website? #academicchatter
