About This Item
Atlantic Highland, NJ, U.S.A: Humanities Press International, 1986. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. The author, an internationally recognized economist and expert in the field of resource allocation and cost-benefit analysis, examines popular economic myths and misconceptions; he undermines the common belief that economics is or can be a science, challenges the validity of such standard concepts as economic efficiency and GNP, and questions the assumption that free competitive markets can operate effectively in a rapidly-changing high-technologhy society; he reveals the processes by which innovative activity, designed to raise living standards, has begun to erode the moral and psychological foundations of a viable and libertarian civilization (green cloth with gold lettering, slight edgewear; pictorial dust jacket with slight edgewear; othewise a bright, clean, tight copy)
