dc.description.abstract	With a shortage of organs available for medical transplantation in almost every developed country, economists have begun to suggest marketization as a solution to this problem, an idea that has recently gained traction outside of the economic community. Through the chosen methodology of document co-citation analysis, this paper seeks to uncover an emerging discourse of medical literature inspired by economic principles, arguing that economic performativity is the culprit behind the materialization of the recent conversation. By conducting a case study of Becker & Elias’s (2007) Introducing Incentives in the Market for Live and Cadaveric Organ Donations, this paper aims to contribute to the presentation of economic performativity as a moral problem. It makes the point that economic performativity operates through the mechanism of rationality which may have potentially adverse consequences for society. This work concludes with a discussion on the possible future of the organ market.	en_US
