The Total Incomes System of Accounts
Conventional measures of national income and product and its components have proved enormously useful as indexes of economic activity and as the empirical foundations of much of macroeconomic analysis. Robert Eisner's The Total Incomes System of Accounts (TISA) brings critical new dimensions to those measures. It offers systematic extensions and expansions in an effort to count all of the output that goes into economic well-being, now and in the future. Eisner counts nonmarket as well as market production, including vast amounts of services produced by housewives and others in the home, capital formation by government and households as well as business, human and intangible capital invested ...
The Road to Daulis

The Means to Prosperity
While recent developments in monetary theory have quickly spread to policy analysis and practice and the media, the same is not true of fiscal policy. This key book assesses these issues through contributions from a host of top names.
Investment, National Income and Economic Policy
Eisner (economics, Northwestern U.) first examines the determinants of business investment and criticizes neo-classical theories on investment. Next he assesses the role of tax incentives in investment, analyzes national income accounting, and examines the implications of war for the economy, including its possible effects on unemployment. Finally, he addresses the conflict between economic policy and principle, paying particular attention to the environment, insurance and choice, academic freed om, and the elderly.

The Theory of International Trade
John Chipman is one of the most esteemed economists working in international trade theory. Presented in two volumes, this work presents Chipman's survey articles on the theory of international trade. The papers explore the evolution of thought from classical to new-classical and on to modern theory.
How Real is the Federal Deficit?
Eisner argues that the federal deficit as currently measured is inaccurate and misleading. When inflation is properly accounted for, he points out, a dramatically different picture of the deficit occurs. In light of these new deficit figures, Eisner challenges current eco nomic theory and interpretations of our recent past. He finds that the deficit has not been as large as recently measured and that efforts to reduce the deficit may do more harm than good. This book will spark serious debate among economists and policymakers. The clarity of its arguments and strength of its evidence are convincing. Strongly recommended for academic and large public libraries. Richard C. Schim ing, Economics Dept., Mankato State Univ., Minn. Copyright 1986 Reed Business Information, Inc.
