Why can money be used to resolve other policy conflicts but it fails to help settle disputes in social value policy conflicts?
What will be an ideal response?
No amount of money will make compromise acceptable in the arena of social values. Most policy disputes are framed primarily on pragmatic, utilitarian principles--will the program work and will society be better off? The moral issues at play with social values are more often framed in terms of absolute values. It is not likely to matter to the parties involved whether society would be better off economically if fundamental moral precepts were violated to achieve the utilitarian benefit. Money cannot be effective in achieving compromise when the conflict is based on fundamental moral and ethical disagreements. Indeed, the suggestion of a monetary response may be considered insulting.
