Review The Legacy of Thorstein Veblen (Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economic) / Edward Elgar Publishing:

Veblen was an original thinker, responsible for introducing and popularising a host of important concepts and insights. He ignited controversy not only in economics, but also in sociology, history and political science. The number and quality of the responses to his work provide evidence of the novelty and explanatory power of his ideas. These comprehensive volumes should enable the reader to sample the broad spectrum of Veblen's thought and that of his critics and interpreters. They include critical appraisals of the corpus of his published work as well as reinterpretations of his life and influence on the social sciences particularly economics, political science and sociology. This authoritative collection includes reprints of materials previously published by leading scholars on nearly every aspect of Veblen's life and work. It should be invaluable to professional scholars and graduate students who wish to heighten their understanding of the alternatives to formalism in the social studies.

Review Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide: A Handbook of Employment Laws and Regulations : Federal, Oregon, Washington / Summers Press:

This book concerns the most important relationship most people have outside the family: the relationship between an employer and an employee. That relationship is crisscrossed by a complex web of laws and regulations. This book describes those laws in a direct, straightforward fashion. The Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide provides the "lay of the land" of personnel law and regulations and integrates the state and federal law that is relevant to an employer. Each section of the book attempts to include both the underlying concept and a simple, straightforward rule. This book is written in small, self-contained sections. The reader does not need to refer to the rest of the chapter, much less the rest of the book, to find information about a topic. Although this method of writing causes some duplication, it more than repays the reader in the efficiency of its use. The Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide is supplemented at least yearly, and more often if major legislation or court cases require. In order to incorporate updated pages easily, the book is published in a three-ring notebook. [+]
The Pacific Northwest Employer's Guide is, and will continue to be, one of the most current employment law books available anywhere in the nation. "Memo English" is used throughout this book. Whenever possible, the author has avoided terms not found regularly in a newspaper and discussions that would appear out-of-place in a business memo. This book is a non-technical discussion of technical topics.

Review The Legacy of Leon Walras (Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economic) / Edward Elgar Publishing:

This two-volume collection of over 60 published articles presents a major study of Leon Walras's intellectual legacy and reveals how Walras's ideas contributed significantly to the formation of the mainstream of modern microeconomic theory. The collection comprises two groups of writings. The first, consisting of interpretations of his ideas, discuss his contributions to the theory of general equilibrium, including his special models of capital and of money, his applications of theory to the formation of economic policies, and his use of it in connection with his concepts of economic justice and an ideal economy. The second group shows current uses of Walras's ideas, including models dealing with Walrasian equilibrium, Walras's law, Cournot-Walras models, Walrasian ideas in the context of game-theoretic analysis, the Walras correposndence, and WALRAS, an econometric model of the general equilibrium effects of agricultural policies.

Review Edward Elgar Publishing  / The Legacy of Piero Sraffa (Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economic) Creator: Neri Salvadori

Dewey code: 330.153
List Price: $760.00

Review The Legacy of Piero Sraffa (Intellectual Legacies in Modern Economic) / Edward Elgar Publishing:

It is generally acknowledged that Piero Sraffa was one of the most original and important economic theorists of the 20th century. The significance of Sraffa's contributions lies in the fact that he elaborated an alternative to the marginalist theory of value and distribution rooted in the analyses of the classical political economists from Adam Smith to David Ricardo. This collection explores Piero Sraffa's contributions to economics. The volumes cover the discussions around Sraffa's criticism of the Marshallian partial equilibrium method; his attack on Hayek's monetary over-investment theory of the business cycle; his edition of Ricardo's works and correspondence and his clarification of the analytical structure of the classical theory of value and distribution; his reformation of the classical theory; and the role of his work in the debates about the theory of capital and income distribution.
