Critical Realism in Economics: Development and Debate
ISBN: 9780415195676 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Critical realism, with its focus on the causal structures underlying observable phenomena, has been one of the most significant developments in the philosophy of social science in the latter-20th century. This volume extends its insights into the fields of economic philosophy methodology and theory in such a way as to open up new forms of investigation in economics and change the nature of economic reasoning. It is argued that the specific value of this approach is that it encourages attention to the capacities, structures and powers that explain observed event regularities in economic life...

Socialism and the Market : The Socialist Calculation Debate Re-visited
ISBN: 9780415195867 / Angielski / Twarda / 2472 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Socialist Calculation debate was one of the defining moments of 20th-century economics, opening fundamental questions about the market economy and the possibility of a non-market economy. Was a socialist economy really feasible? Advocates like Lange and Taylor clearly thought so, but their critics led by Mises and Hayek were implacable in their opposition. During the '30s and '40s the Socialists clearly appeared to have won the day: 50 years later, with the collapse of communism, a different consensus emerged. This set contains material which should provide an understanding of the debate...

Economics and Utopia : Why the Learning Economy is Not the End of History
ISBN: 9780415196857 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For many the East European revolutions of 1989 and the disintegration of the USSR represented not only the overdue demise of Soviet-style communism, but also the obsolescence of all utopian ways of thinking. This text argues history has reached its end-state in the form of a victorious liberal-democratic capitalism and all attempts to imagine an alternative social order were now damned as both futile and quixotic. Beyond Utopia? rejects the belief that utopian thinking is a necessary condition for the development of alternative solutions to the problems of the present and thus for historical...

Microfoundations and Macroeconomics : An Austrian Perspective
ISBN: 9780415197625 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past, Austrian economics has been seen as almost exclusively focused on microeconomics, and defined by its subjective methodology and understanding of the market as a competitive discovery process, favouring a focus on phenomena such as price coordination and entrepreneurship over macroeconomic concepts. There are, however, three distinct macroeconomic issues that have been pursued by Austrian economists in the post-revival years; the extensions of the Mises-Hayek theory of the trade cycle, the idea of free banking or a completely market-driven monetary system and the pre-Keynesian...

John Ruskin's Political Economy
ISBN: 9780415200677 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume offers a reading of John Ruskin's economic and social criticism, based on recent research into rhetoric in economics in the late 1990s. Willie Henderson uses notions derived from literary criticism, the rhetorical turn in economics and more conventional approaches to historical economic texts to reevaluate Ruskin's economic and social criticism. By identifying Ruskin's rhetoric, and by reading his work through that of Plato, Xenophon, and John Stuart Mill, Willie Henderson reveals how Ruskin manipulated a knowledge base. Moreover in analysis of the writings of William Smart, John...

The Theory of the Individual in Economics: Identity and Value
ISBN: 9780415202206 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of the individual and his/her motivations is a bedrock of philosophy. All strands of thought at heart come down to a particular theory of the individual. Economics, though, is guilty of taking this hugely important concept without questioning how we theorise it. This superb book remedies this oversight.
The new approach put forward by Davis is to pay more attention to what moral philosophy may offer us in the study of personal identity, self consciousness and will. This crosses the traditional boundaries of economics and will shed new light on the distinction between positive... The concept of the individual and his/her motivations is a bedrock of philosophy.

Knowledge, Institutions and Evolution in Economics
ISBN: 9780415205375 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the Schumpeter Prize, 2000 and Winner of the Smith Prize in Austrian Economics, 2000, this book explores how the limitations of human knowledge create both opportunities and problems in the modern economy. The growing field of evolutionary economics has developed as a result of the traditional failure of the discipline to explain certain phenomena that impact greatly on the economy. These are:
*Evolution - the impact on the economy of natural change over time *Institutions - the impact on the economy of government and/or company policy, rules and...

Ford and the Global Strategies of Multinationals: The North American Auto Industry
ISBN: 9780415205795 / Angielski / Twarda / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Today, the Multinational Enterprise (MNE) is seen as a leading agent in the process of globalization. As they adopt global strategies, MNE's are seen to be creating stronger, deeper and more lasting links amongst countries, thus shifting the balance of power inexorably in their favour, to the detriment of the state.

What Do Economists Know?: New Economics of Knowledge
ISBN: 9780415207508 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume rethinks the classic question of what, how and for whom economics is produced. Drawing from a range of perspectives, from postmodernism to critical realism, it casts light on the relationship between the producers and consumers of economic knowledge, both academic and non-academic. Challenging the ivory tower view of economists as disinterested producers of scientific knowledge against the unscientific economics of the lay person, the authors advance a vision of economic knowledge as irreducibly plural and dispersed, rather than as a unified accumulation of academic thought. It...

The Social Economics of Health Care
ISBN: 9780415207652 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For too long now, the issue of health care reform has been dominated by the techniques of mainstream economics and the constant application of the tools of cost-benefit analysis to an area that does not suit it.
Issues such as privacy, genetic testing and the allocation of organ transplants require a more sensitive approach to the setting of budgets, and so a more socially responsible attitude towards health care economics is emerging. John Davis has gathered together an impressive range of contributors to explore these phenomena. For too long now, the issue of health care reform has been dominated by the techniques of mainstream economics and the constant application of the too...

ISBN: 9780415207997 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the end of the 17th centrury a new theoretical approach in economics emerged through the writings of Pierre de Boisguilbert (1646-1714). Biosguilbert's work, a landmark in the establishment and development of liberal economics, not only develops the theoretical foundations of laissez-faire, it also constitutes a substantial analysis of the behaviour of economic agents in the generation of prosperity and depression. This is a full-length study of Boisguilbert's work. It contains an extended discussion of the context in which Boisguilbert worked, as well as a detailed analysis of his life...

The German Historical School: The Historical and Ethical Approach to Economics
ISBN: 9780415208000 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The German Historical School of Economics, that exerted a strong influence on the German-speaking world throughout the 19th century, was a reaction to rationalism and enlighenment and challenged the British classical economics. It also attacked neo-classical economics and Marxian economics that were emerging descendants of the Classical Economists. The Historical School was characterized by its emphasis on historical and ethical methods, and just for this reason it has been misunderstood by mainstream economics as an unscientific standpoint. However, with the increasing acceptance of...

Divine Economy: Theology and the Market
ISBN: 9780415226738 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What has theology to do with economics? They are both sciences of human action, but have traditionally been treated as very separate disciplines. Divine Economy is the first book to address the need for an active dialogue between the two.
D. Stephen Long traces three strategies which have been used to bring theology to bear on economic questions: the dominant twentieth-century tradition, of Weber's fact-value distinction; an emergent tradition based on Marxist social analysis; and a residual tradition that draws on an ancient understanding of a functional economy. He concludes... What has theology to do with economics? They are both sciences of human action, but have traditionally been treated as very separate disciplines. ...
