Economics, Values, and Organization

by Avner Ben-Ner (Editor), Louis Putterman (Editor)

A new and unique collection of essays on the relationship between economic institutions and values, this book's original premise is that the way an economy and society are organized is determined in part by the preferences we call "values." This book challenges economists and scholars in related fields to explore the two-way interaction between economic arrangements and values. Contributors include leading scholars from such diverse fields as game theory and economic history, as well as political philosophy, sociology and psychology. Designed for a wide readership, the book has no existing counterparts.

[Silvia Zuleta Romano]

Un libro muy interesante para los interesados en la ética y la economía. Algunos apartados son tediosos de leer. No es una lectura ligera pero vale la pena. Una lástima que en las facultades de economía no se estudie la influencia que tienen las instituciones y las normas en el desempeño económico de los países.
