Marx, Veblen, and Contemporary Institutional Political Economy
O'Hara (economics, Curtin U. of Technology, Australia) uses an institutional-evolutionary approach to analyze economic problems associated with developments in capitalism during the second half of the 20th century. Arguing that economics should center on institutions as the durable fabric of the economy over time, he traces the lineages of institutional themes and considers feminist, post-Keynesian, holistic-economic, and Schumpeterian perspectives. He then explores the nature of institutions in the growth and instability of capitalism with reference to social structures of accumulation. He concludes that the evolution of modern capitalism is likely to remain unstable. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

The Core Theory in Economics
An important tenet of game theory, core theory has nonetheless been all but ignored by the mainstream. Its basic premise is that individuals band together in order to promote their interests as much as possible. The return to an individual depends on competition among various coalitions for its membership, and a group of people can obtain a joint maximum by suitable coordinated actions. In this key title, Lester Telser investigates the following issues: Markets Multiproduct Industry Total Cost Functions with Avoidable Costs Critical Analyses of Noncooperative Equilibria. Through these distinct sections, Telser skilfully brings the ideas of core theory to bear on a range of issues within economics – with particular emphasis on supply and demand and the way markets function.
The Values of Economics
With an aim to bring caring back into economic theory, this work draws upon the work of Aristotle and Amartya Sen's notions of capability and commitment, to propose an alternative methodology to utilitarianism that is not normative.
