Wildcard Wednesday (1) - Justice: the lecture series

This cracking series of half-hour lectures on BBC3 by Michael Sander, a professor at Harvard University, is drawn from his Philosophy of Justice undergraduate lecture series, but is, for the most part, really accessible. Whilst students who may be considering combined politics, philosophy and economics degrees may be most likely to find the subject matter engaging, there is plenty in there for able economists, especially lecture 3 on utilitarianism and preferences, lecture 5 on whether it is just to tax the rich to help the poor and lecture 7 on the extent to which people should be free to choose their place in society.
