Abstract
The intellectual resources on morality assembled in the previous chapter contribute to and facilitate the task of refining the conceptual device of moral economy. Accordingly, I now proceed from a preparatory discussion on the subject of morality, to the specifics of moral economy. It is urgent and vital to advance thinking on the content of, arguments for, the mode of conceptualisation and articulation of what is a contested concept. I also begin to weave moral economy with criminal justice and probation.
