In all, I have been invited to make contributions to a handful of scholarly books (see below), including (1) The Godfather and Philosophy; (2) Hume, Smith, Burke, Geijer, Menger, d’Argenson, et EJW cetera; (3) Better Call Saul and Philosophy; (4) Economics of the Undead; and (5) Blade Runner: memoria, vigilancia y el sujeto desechable (in Spanish). Writing a chapter for a book, however, involves a delicate trade off: on the one hand, your work can reach a wider audience, especially if the book is intended for the general public (my chapter for The Economics of the Undead, for example, was featured on Freakonomics Radio!), but at the same time book chapters are much harder for potential readers to find or access online compared to journal articles. For reference, then, here are links to preprints of my book chapters (in reverse chronological order):

• Ronald Coase and the Corleones, Chapter 22 of Joshua Heter and Richard Greene, editors, The Godfather and Philosophy: An Argument You Can’t Refute, pp. 209-214. Chicago: Open Universe (2023). This chapter extends Ronald Coase’s idea of “reciprocal harms” to the famous wedding scene in the original Godfather movie.
• Adam Smith in Love, Chapter 7 of Daniel B. Klein and Jason Briggeman, editors, Hume, Smith, Burke, Geijer, Menger, d’Argenson, et EJW cetera, pp. 154-185. Vancouver: CL Press (2022). This chapter is a reprint of my original refereed “Adam Smith in Love” paper.
• Breaking Bad Promises, Chapter 22 of Joshua S. Heter and Brett Coppenger, editors, Better Call Saul and Philosophy: I Think Therefore I Scam, pp. 227-235. Chicago: Open Universe (2022). This chapter explores a peculiar puzzle in legal and moral theory: the problem of illegal or immoral promises.
• Buy or Bite?, Chapter 12 of Glen Whitman & James Dow, editors, Economics of the Undead: Zombies, Vampires, and the Dismal Science, pp. 123-129. Lanham, Maryland: Rowman & Littlefield (2014). This chapter introduces the concept of “legal failure” and proposes a free market for the purchase and sale of blood.
• El ajedrez in Blade Runner: lecciones de la Partida Inmortal, Chapter 7 of Daniel Nina, editor, Blade Runner: memoria, vigilancia y el sujeto desechable, pp. 105-130. San Juan de Puerto Rico: Ediciones Callejón (2008). This chapter explores the logic of strategic behavior through the lens of the legendary 1851 “Immortal Game” between two great German chess masters, Adolf Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky.
