Power, Employment and Accumulation

Social Structures in Economic Theory and Policy

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dedicated to the life and work of David M. Gordon, Power, Employment, and Accumulation provides an interesting and refreshing collection of economic research written by some of North America's top economists. A variety of topical issues are addressed -- labor market inequalities, welfare reform, interest rate policies, international trade, global financial (in)stability, etc. -- utilizing a rich variety of methodological techniques from empirical investigations to game theory and opinion surveys. What unites these diverse essays, however, is their common perspective that social institutions and structures "matter" to the performance of economies, and hence should receive more attention from economists.
