Institutional Frameworks and Labor Market Performance produces an in-depth analysis of the functioning of various labor market institutions in both the USA and Germany.

Social Limits to Economic Theory
ISBN: 9780415123860 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In doing so he provides the best introduction to date to critical, non-orthodox economics.
