Post Keynesian Price Theory or Social Choice

Post Keynesian Price Theory

Author: Frederic S Le

This book sets out the foundations of Post Keynesian price theory. Frederic Lee examines the administered, normal cost and mark up price doctrines associated with Post Keynesian economics; he then draws upon those doctrines and previous empirical studies to develop the pricing and production foundations of the theory. This is the only book that is solely concerned with Post Keynesian price theory and its foundations, and represents a major contributon to the literature of post-Keynesian economics.

Social Choice: A Framework for Collective Decisions and Individual Judgements

Author: John Craven

This textbook provides a survey of the literature of social choice. It integrates the ethical aspects of the subject (discussing potentially desirable conditions for social judgments), with positive aspects of decision mechanisms that center on the revelation of true preferences. The book draws together the work of a great many papers in a common notation, pointing out interrelations that are often missing in specialist papers.
