Economics, Values, and Organization

By: Snell, Richard S.

Book Overview

A new and unique collection of essays on the relationship between economic institutions and values, this book's original premise is that the way an economy and society are organized is determined in part by the preferences we call values. This book challenges economists and scholars in related fields to explore the two-way interaction between economic arrangements and values. Contributors include leading scholars from such diverse fields as game theory and economic history, as well as political philosophy, sociology and psychology. Designed for a wide readership, the book has no existing counterparts.
