Richard Cantillon: Pioneer of Economic Theory
ISBN: 9780415075770 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Cantillon was an 18th-century merchant. His only surviving work, the Essai sur la Nature du Commerce en General was an astonishing achievement - the first analysis of the economy as an interrelated whole. Simply to sketch such a theory would have been a major advance, but Cantillon worked out the implications of his model with a rigour unmatched for a century or more. Although it was not published until 20 years after his death, and never widely known, it was a formative, if unacknowledged, influence on classical economics. This book is a study of Cantillon's economics. In the first...

A Second Edition of the General Theory
ISBN: 9780415082150 / Angielski / Twarda / 1 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Keynes always intended to write 'footnotes' to his masterwork The General Theory, which would take account of the criticisms made of it and allow him to refine his ideas further.
These two volumes contain the work of a wide range of Keynes scholars, including James Tobin, Paul Davidson and Lord Skidelsky, who here have written the 'footnotes' that Keynes never did. The first volume follows the structure of DEGREESThe General Theory offering attempts to clarify difficult passages and suggesting ways in which Keynes might have revised his theory in light of his own subsequent...

Anti-Libertarianism: Markets, Philosophy and Myth
ISBN: 9780415082549 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Free marketeers claim that theirs is the only economic mechanism which respects and furthers human freedom. Socialism, they say, has been thoroughly discredited. Most libertarians treat the state in anything other than its minimal, 'nightwatchman' form as a repressive embodiment of evil. Some reject the state altogether.
But is the 'free market idea' a rationally defensible belief? Or do its proponents fail to examine the philosophical roots of their so-called freedom? Anti-libertarianism takes a sceptical look at the conceptual tenets of free market politics. Alan Haworth argues...

The Philosophy of the Austrian School
ISBN: 9780415086479 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Austrian School has made some of the most significant contributions to the social sciences in recent times but attempts to understand it have remained locked in a polemical frame. In contrast, The Philosphy of the Austrian School presents a philosophically grounded account of the School's methodological, political and economic ideas. Whilst acknowledging important differences between the key figures in the School - Menger, Mises, and Hayek - Raimondo Cubeddu finds that they also have significant things in common. Paramount amongst these are theories of subjective value and...

Rules and Choice in Economics: Essays in Constitutional Political Economy
ISBN: 9780415094795 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why do the conventions that enable society to cohere survive, even when it is not in everyone's interests to obey them? The book is about how the rules and institutions which are the basis of co-operation in society can be systematically explained. The social sciences which have concerned themselves with this question have frequently come up with opposite explanations, neither of which seem adequate. Economics, with its emphasis on individual choice seems unable to account for individuals following rules when it is not in their interest to do so. Sociology, which can explain such...

The Evolutionist Economics of Leon Walras
ISBN: 9780415098243 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study offers a perspective on Walras's pure, applied and social economics. Through archival research at the University of Lausanne, the author considers Walrus's ideas on the philosophy of science based on a newly constructed taxonomy. Walras's work is placed in a broader context by stressing the 19th-century cultural and historical background in which he lived. This gives an insight into the relationship between the Romanticism of the early 19th century and the logical positivism of the 20th century.

The Market: Ethics, Knowledge and Politics
ISBN: 9780415098274 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Following the failure of 'really existing socialism' in Eastern Europe and Asia, the market is now generally perceived, by Left and Right, to be supreme in any rational economic system. The current debate now focuses on the proper boundaries of markets rather than the system itself. This book examines the problems of defining these boundaries for the recent defences of the market, and shows that they highlight major weaknesses in the cases made by its proponents.
The author draws on considerable research in this area to provide an overdue critical evaluation of the limits of the market,... Following the failure of 'really existing socialism' in Eastern Europe and Asia, the market is now generally perceived, by Left and Right, to be supre...

Economics as an Art of Thought: Essays in Memory of G.L.S. Shackle
ISBN: 9780415101622 / Angielski / Twarda / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economists can no longer feel that they operate in a world of certainties. Ever since the demise of the era of macroeconomic fine tuning in the 1970s, with its exaggerated belief in the efficacy of policy making, economists have been confronted with a global economic and political environment which is subject to increasingly rapid change. It is no longer a world which is easy to interpret. It is, to use G.L.S. Shackle's word, kaledic. In the refiguration of economic thought that has been taking place in recent years in response to these changes, the work of G.L.S. Shackle (1903-1992) occupies...
