Just Economy - Principles of Political Economy Volume IV

Zusatztext 'The content is austerely theoretical! being concerned with the application of economic analysis! but not with its relation to empirical evidence or with the testing of economic theories. The style is a model of lucidity and everything is planned with care.' - New Society Informationen zum Autor Meade, James E. Zusammenfassung First published in 1979, this fourth part of Principles of Political Economy applies the tools of economic analysis to the distribution of income and property. Professor Meade considers the problems of making interpersonal comparisons of welfare and of distinguishing between the efficiency and distributional aspects of changes in social welfare.
