I've worked on identity, individual and social, for many years. Forthcoming in spring 2024 is my third book on this:
Identity, Capabilities and Changing Economics
Identity, Capabilities and Changing Economics

I've also been working more intensively on Stratification economics. Several recent papers are:
“A general theory of social economic stratification: Stigmatization, exclusion, and capability shortfalls,” Review of Evolutionary Political Economy 3: 3 (2022): 493-513.
“Stratification Economics as an Economics of Exclusion,” Journal of Economics, Race, and Policy 2:3 (2019): 163-
172.
“Stratification economics and identity economics,” Cambridge Journal of Economics 39 (2015): 1215-1229.
Presented several times recently is a working paper:
"Stratification economics: Historical Origins and Theoretical Foundations"
My work on Stratification Economics is tied to how I treat individual identity. People are socially embedded in their social identities, both the relational and categorical kinds. The Review of Evolutionary Political Economy paper above and the fifth chapter of my forthcoming Identity, Capabilities and Changing Economics book lay this out.

Robert McMaster and I published a book on the concept of care in health care with Routledge in the Advances in Social Economics series: Health Care Economics
The emphasis as in the italics in the title is on care. Standard health economics fails to account for the nature of care in health care. This has important ramifications for the analysis and valuation of care, and therefore for the pattern of health and medical care provision. This book sets out an alternative approach that places care at the center of an economics of health, showing how essential it is that care is appropriately recognized in health care policy as a means of enhancing the dignity of the individual.
Economic Methodology: Understanding Economics as a Science, that Marcel Boumans and I published in 2010, came out in a second edition in 2016. This is an introduction to the field of economic methodology, with a capstone chapter "Value Judgments in Economics." The new edition has applications at the end of each chapter that we believe make teaching the material interesting to students.
