Producing Prosperity

An Inquiry into the Operation of the Market Process

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this new volume, Randall G. Holcombe argues that economic analysis focuses on the forces that lead to an economic equilibrium, not the forces that produce prosperity. The author argues that looking ahead, economics should build on its past to focus on factors that create an entrepreneurial and innovative economy that is characterized by progress and prosperity.
