Her recent work includes a monograph on rational choice theory, The potential and Limits of Rational Choice, with Palgrave/Macmillan, one on freedom and the welfare state (ogether with Bob ggoodin, James Rice and Antti Parpo) and a monograph manuscript on social norms, in the finishing stages (together with Geoffrey Brennan, Bob Goodin and Nicholas Southwood).
