What makes a market transaction morally repugnant? psyarxiv.com/dgz4s/ New study assays this repugnance along five higher-order dimensions: moral outrage, need for regulation, incommensurability, exploitation, and unknown risk Really impressive study and dataset!

I wonder if there was more information in the actual survey - for example if 'child labor' included kids working in the family business, and if 'cocaine' meant high level cartel dealing

I honestly thought of you immediately after seeing that tweet, and I don't even know which way it goes -- that people like you inspire these studies, or that these studies inspire people like you.
