Perfect Markets and Easy Virtue : Business Ethics and the Invisible Hand
ISBN: 9781557862488 / Angielski / Twarda / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the effects of the market mechanism on economies and societies.

The book goes on to propose ways in which these flaws might be remedied without subverting the market mechanism.

The Behavioral and Welfare Analysis of Consumption: The Cost of Children, Equity and Poverty in Colombia
ISBN: 9781402075186 / Angielski / Twarda / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The motive force of human activity that propels the stream of progress is here caught at its source, in its most modest, material expressions. The mechanism of the passions acting as determinant in these low spheres is less complex and can therefore be observed with greater precision. All one need do is leave the picture its clear, calm colors and its simple design. Gradually, as that search for material well-being by which man is tormented grows and expand, it also tends to rise and pursue an ascendant course thorough the social classes. In 'I Malavoglia' it is still only the struggle for...
