Equity and Choice : An Essay in Economics and Applied Philosophy
ISBN: 9780043500668 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Offering a new answer to an age-old problem: the meaning of a just or equitable distribution of resources, Julian Le Grand examines the principal interpretations of equity used by economists and political philosophers. He argues that none captures the essence of the term as well as an alternative conception relating equity to the existence or otherwise of individual choice. Le Grand shows that this conception is not only philosophically well-grounded but is also directly relevant to key areas of distributional policy. His theoretical argument is complemented by detailed discussion...

The Mirage of Global Markets: How Globalizing Companies Can Succeed as Markets Localize
ISBN: 9780130470669 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why do even the best companies struggle to become as profitable in international markets as they are at home? Because they've fallen for the "mirage" of a truly global market. In fact, the world is comprised of hundreds of intensely local markets that are becoming more fragmented with each passing year. In The Mirage of Global Markets, David Arnold reveals why multinationals are actually losing market share--and how the world is rapidly accelerating towards "segments of one." Next, he offers you a comprehensive new blueprint for maximizing profitability in a world of local markets....

Economics and the Philosophy of Science
ISBN: 9780195082746 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Economists and other social scientists in this century have often supported economic arguments by referring to positions taken by philosophers of science.

Redman presents an accurate, critical, yet neutral survey of the modern philosophy of science from the Vienna Circle to the present, focusing particularly on logical positivism, sociological explanations of science...

The Nature of the Firm : Origins, Evolution, and Development
ISBN: 9780195083569 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 1937, Ronald H. Coase published "The Nature of the Firm," a classic paper that raised fundamental questions about the concept of the firm in economic theory.

Coase won the 1991 Nobel Prize in Economics for this work. This volume derives from a conference held in 1987 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Coase's classic article. The first chapter affords an overview of the volume. It is followed by...

The Myth of Property : Toward an Egalitarian Theory of Ownership
ISBN: 9780195085945 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Myth of Property is the first book-length study to focus directly on the variable and complex structure of ownership. It critically analyzes what it means to own something, and it takes familiar debates about distributive justice and recasts them into discussions of the structure of ownership. The traditional notion of private property assumed by both defenders and opponents of that system is criticized and exposed as a "myth." The book then puts forward a new theory of what it means to own something, one that will be important for any theory of distributive justice. This new...

The Philosophy and Economics of Market Socialism : A Critical Study
ISBN: 9780195088274 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. N. Scott Arnold argues that the most defensible version of a market socialist economic system would be unable to realize widely held socialist ideals and values. In particular, it would be responsible for widespread and systematic exploitation. The charge of exploitation, which is really a charge of injustice, has typically been made against capitalist systems by socialists. This book argues that it is market socialism--the only remaining viable form of socialism--that is systematically exploitative.

Dilemmas in Economic Theory : Persisting Foundational Problems in Microeconomics
ISBN: 9780195100877 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. By examining the development of economics in the 20th century, this book argues that the breakthroughs of post WWII general equilibrium theory and its rejection of utilitarianism and marginal productivity have been misunderstood. Mandler maintains that although earlier neoclassicism deserved criticism, current theory does not adequately address the problems the discarded concepts were designed to solve, and that intractable dilemmas therefore appear.

Nonlinear Pricing
ISBN: 9780195115826 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What do phone rates, frequent flyer programs, and railroad tariffs all have in common? They are all examples of nonlinear pricing. Pricing is nonlinear when it is not strictly proportional to the quantity purchased. The Electric Power Research Institute has commissioned Robert Wilson to review the various facets of nonlinear pricing. The work starts with a general non-mathematical discussion, followed by a more technical presentation intended for readers with a fairly advanced background. Thorough and detailed, this study has ample examples of case studies from a variety of industries.

In turn, technical change itself becomes a powerful source of institutional change.

This book brings together in one place the work of one of our most respected economic theorists, on a field in which he has played a large part in originating: the New Institutional Economics. Transaction cost economics, which studies the governance of contractual relations, is the branch of the New Institutional Economics with which Oliver Williamson is especially associated. Transaction cost economics takes issue with one of the fundamental building blocks in microeconomics: the theory of the firm. Whereas orthodox economics describes the firm in technological terms, as a production...

When Firms Change Direction
ISBN: 9780195136432 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Firms within the same competitive environment (industry) respond in different ways to changing environmental (competitive) conditions. The authors of this book argue that the strategy field has not found answers to the questions that flow from this observation. They answer these questions by using what they call a "cognitively anchored theory of strategic change."
