The latter is a matter of great practical importance and is of no small significance from the standpoint of political philosophy." Scott Gordon, "Journal of Political Economy"
James Buchanan offers a strikingly innovative approach to a pervasive problem of social philosophy. The problem is one of the classic paradoxes concerning man's freedom in society: in order to protect individual freedom, the state must...

Coase has been, even though, as he admits, "most economists have a different way of looking at economic problems and do not share my conception of the nature of our subject." Coase's particular interest has been that part of economic theory that deals with firms, industries, and markets--what is known as price theory or microeconomics. He has always urged his fellow economists to examine the foundations on which their theory exists, and this volume collects some of his classic articles probing those very foundations. "The Nature...

This is the first book to examine the central tenets of economics from a feminist point of view. In these original essays, the authors suggest that the discipline of economics could be improved by freeing itself from masculine biases.
"Beyond Economic Man" raises questions about the discipline not because economics is too objective but because it is not objective enough. The contributors-nine economists, a sociologist, and a philosopher-discuss the extent to which gender has influenced both the range of subjects economists have studied and the way in which scholars have conducted their...

Economics--Mathematical Politics or Science of Diminishing Returns?
ISBN: 9780226727233 / Angielski / Twarda / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economics today cannot predict the likely outcome of specific events any better than it could in the time of Adam Smith. This is Alexander Rosenberg's controversial challenge to the scientific status of economics. Rosenberg explains that the defining characteristic of "any" science is predictive improvability the capacity to create more precise forecasts by evaluating the success of earlier predictions and he forcefully argues that because economics has not been able to increase its predictive power for over two centuries, it is not a science."

The Natural Origins of Economics
ISBN: 9780226735702 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. References to the economy are ubiquitous in modern life, and virtually every facet of human activity has capitulated to market mechanisms. In the early modern period, however, there was no common perception of the economy, and discourses on money, trade, and commerce treated economic phenomena as properties of physical nature. Only in the early nineteenth century did economists begin to posit and identify the economy as a distinct object, divorcing it from natural processes and attaching it exclusively to human laws and agency.

The Nature of the Farm: Contracts, Risk, and Organization in Agriculture
ISBN: 9780262511858 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Nature of the Farm is a theoretical and empirical study of contracts and organization in agriculture based on the transaction cost framework.

The book develops specific models and tests the implications of those models against data sets from across North American agriculture, as well as against historical case studies such as eighteenth-century European land contracts and the...
