Donald MacKenzie
An Engine, Not a Camera: How Financial Models Shape Markets (Inside Technology)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Winner of the 2008 Viviana Zelizer Distinguished Scholarship Award given by the American Sociological Association’s section on Economic Sociology., Winner, 2007 British International Studies Association’s (BISA) International Political Economy Group (IPEG) Book Prize. and Winner of the 2005 John Desmond Bernal Prize awarded jointly by the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) and the Institute for Scientific Information. In An Engine, Not a Camera, Donald MacKenzie argues that the emergence of modern economic theories of finance affected financial markets in fundamental ways. These new, Nobel Prize-winning theories, based on elegant mathematical models of markets, were not simply external analyses but intrinsic parts of economic processes. Paraphrasing Milton Friedman, MacKenzie says that economic models are an engine of inquiry rather than a camera to reproduce empirical facts. More than that, the emergence of an authoritative theory of financial markets altered those… [detailed...]

Frederic Sautet
An Entrepreneurial Theory of the Firm

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Traditional theory of the firm has concentrated on such topics as technology, evolution and transaction costs whilst failing to account for one of the most fundamental aspects of the market process: entrepreneurial activity. Using an approach consistent with the modern Austrian School, Frederic Sautet has developed the open-ended theories initiated by Hayek and Mises to bring a fresh perspective to conventional economic theory. An Entrepreneurial Theory of the Firm makes a thorough and comprehensive enquiry into the nature of the of the relationship that exists between firms and markets, with separate, in-depth explorations pf the issues of both the existence and inner organisations of the firm. Sautet develops a model that explains the emergence of the firm in the market process as the result of entrepreneurial activity in the context of genuine uncertainty. The Austrian angle enables him to provide a theory that is both alternative and complementary to established view… [detailed...]

An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter (New Directions Paperbook)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An astounding novel from Argentina that is a meditation on the beautiful and the grotesque in nature, the art of landscape painting, and one experience in a man`s life that became a lightning rod for inspiration. An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter is the story of a moment in the life of the German artist Johan Moritz Rugendas (1802-1858). Greatly admired as a master landscape painter, he was advised by Alexander von Humboldt to travel West from Europe to record the spectacular landscapes of Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. Rugendas did in fact become one of the best of the nineteenth-century European painters to venture into Latin America. However this is not a biography of Rugendas. This work of fiction weaves an almost surreal history around the secret objective behind Rugendas` trips to America: to visit Argentina in order to achieve in art the `physiognomic totality` of von Humboldt`s scientific vision of the whole. Rugendas is convinced that only in… [detailed...]

An Eponymous Dictionary Of Economics: A Guide To Laws And Theorems Named After Economists (Elgar Original Reference)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An Eponymous Dictionary of Economics is a fascinating and accessible reference work with comprehensive coverage of the field of economics from Adam Smith`s Problem through Minkowski`s Theorem to Zellner`s Estimator. Eponymy - the practice of affixing the name of the scientist to all or part of what he/she has found - has many interesting features but only a very few attempts have been made to tackle the subject lexicographically in science and art. This is the first eponymous dictionary of economics ever published in any language. There are hundreds of eponyms and the average economist will probably be acquainted with, let alone be able to master, a relatively restricted number of them. The Dictionary fills this void in a manageable volume that describes all relevant economic eponyms. Some rare but interesting eponyms are also included, many entries are cross-referenced and all have a succinct bibliography for further reading. Julio Segura and Carlos RodrA­guez Braun have assembled a… [detailed...]

An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798) examines the tendency of human numbers to outstrip their resources, and argues that checks in the form of poverty, disease, and starvation are necessary to keep societies from moving beyond their means of subsistence. Malthus`s simple but powerful argument was controversial in his time, today his name has become a byword for active concern about humankind`s demographic and ecological prospects. [detailed...]

An Essay on the Principle of Population, Second Edition (Norton Critical Editions)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: While millions face hunger, malnutrition, and starvation, the world`s population is increasing by over 225,000 people per day, 80 million per year. In many countries, supplies of food and water are inadequate to support the population, so the world fallsdeeper and deeper into what economists call the `Malthusian trap,` named for the writer whose work, more than any other, brought attention to the population dilemma. Philip Appleman`s comprehensive introduction to Thomas Robert Malthus` seminal 1798 worktraces the evolution of Malthus` idea and its validity through following generations. The text is accompanied by explanatory annotations and excerpts from the revised edition (1803). Key eighteenth-century influences on Malthus are reprinted, including one by Benjamin Franklin. Nine major assessments from the nineteenth century are reprinted, including?new to the Second Edition?those of Frances Pace and Harriet Martineau. Contemporary commentary ranges widely… [detailed...]

Hilaire Belloc
An Essay on the Restoration of Property

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This short work is a program for property distribution as an alternative to how it is planned by socialist states or naturally happens in capitalist societies. It is a landmark of European social thought, attempting to rectify the wrongs in both of the major economic theories by approaching the problem from an entirely new angle. The essay is thus an anticapitalist and antisocialist work of Christian and Catholic social thought in which basic truths about society and human nature are applied to socioeconomics. It is a manifesto and a program for the Distributist League, of which Belloc and G. K. Chesterton were the primary figures. It marks a key point in the history of economic thought, and it is a fundamental text illustrating the influence of religionand philosophy on social thought and their practical application to societal questions.
