A commenter on the amusingly long series of discussions here and elsewhere about the utilitarian aspects of the exchange pointed me to Alex Tabarrok’s musings on the general subject last summer, which in turn pointed me to Eric Crampton’s. Barring some Nobel Prize in Economics-worthy new posting elsewhere, I suspect that shall conclude my investigation into this matter.
