“I think that all moralities adequately serving the function of fostering social cooperation must contain a norm of reciprocity - a norm of returning good for good received. Such a norm is a necessity, I argue, because it helps relieve the strains on motivation of contributing to social cooperation when it comes into conflict with self-interest.” ThinkingHelpingMotivationMoralityConflictArguingCooperationNormReciprocity Author:David Wong
“Different moralities must share some general features if they are to perform their functions of coordinating beings having particular kinds of motivations. Morality is a cultural construction in something like the way bridges are.

“Government has three primary functions. It should provide for military defense of the nation. It should enforce contracts between individuals. It should protect citizens from crimes against themselves or their property. When government-- in pursuit of good intentions tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost come in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.” ShouldTryingHelpingGovernmentMotivationThreeIndividualNationsInterestLossEconomyPlayerSpecialMilitaryCrimeCitizensMoralityCostProtectFunctionPropertyIntentionActiveDefensePursuitPrimariesContractsGood IntentionsSpecial InterestsRefereeInefficiency Author:Milton Friedman
