Claim8bb9955bb9386d11e35febc5cdf2cb446ea078bd9f23a0a4d2cb1f7bb76b2cb3·Paper reconstruction — Dustin Avent-Holt & Alysha Bailey (2024), What counts as productive? Redefining ‘producers’ in economic discourse, 1890–1960
Claim
A small minority used a moral utilities framework, excluding activities that created or satisfied immoral utilities and evaluating utility against social goals such as national prosperity; this approach was never dominant and Carver was the last sampled economist to use it.
Evidence (3)
What counts as productive? Redefining ‘producers’ in economic discourse, 1890–1960 — Post-marginal-revolution contestation: utility expands the producer boundary, but competing frames persist
