1. The many faces of health justice
Sudhir Anand
This paper develops the idea of health justice as a plural conception. It
draws on the literature on justice from philosophy and economics, and
investigates its application and reach in the space of health. Several
distinctions are invoked in identifying and contrasting different facets
of
health justice and injustice. These include active versus passive
injustice;
process fairness versus substantive justice; comparative versus non
comparative justice; compensatory and distributive justice. Within
distributive justice, the health implications of alternate principles –
viz.
equality, priority, sufficiency, and efficiency – are examined and
evaluated.
Many faces of health justice are thus exposed which help to address the
varieties of injustice observed in the health sphere.

Cognition is critical for finding different solutions to problems and
providing new, robust patterns of action for the performance of routines.
Routine Dynamics research provides significant empirical evidence about
patterns and performance, and reveals how practices are permanently
co-shaped
using the notions of artefacts, reflection, replication of knowledge and
intentionality. The notions of reflective action and reflective thinking
have
been identified as critical for current patterns of interdependent
actions,
thus offering an opportunity to reshape both cognition and the
representation
of routines that is far from the original conception of the Carnegie
School.

4. Revisiting the Properties of Money
Isaiah Hull; Or Sattath
The properties of money commonly referenced in the economics literature
were
originally identified by Jevons (1876) and Menger (1892) in the late 1800s
and were intended to describe physical currencies, such as commodity
money,
metallic coins, and paper bills. In the digital era, many non-physical
currencies have either entered circulation or are under development,
including demand deposits, cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, central bank
digital currencies (CBDCs), in-game currencies, and quantum money. These
forms of money have novel properties that have not been studied
extensively
within the economics literature, but may be important determinants of the
monetary equilibrium that emerges in the forthcoming era of heightened
currency competition. This paper makes the first exhaustive attempt to
identify and define the properties of all physical and digital forms of
money. It reviews both the economics and computer science literatures and
categorizes properties within an expanded version of the original
functions-and-properties framework of money that includes societal and
regulatory objectives.
