Social Fairness and Economics

  • Type: Book

  • Publisher: Routledge

This volume brings together papers inspired by the work of Duncan Foley, an extraordinarily productive economist who has made seminal contributions to a wide variety of areas. Foley’s work cannot be easily classified, but one thread that runs through it is a critical examination (along both ethical and analytical lines) of conventional neoclassical economic theory, particularly involving general equilibrium theories of value and money.

This book could be called "The Intelligent Person's Guide to Economics."
