Economics and Psychology An Uneasy History

Economics and Psychology An Uneasy History

With the rise of modern behavioural economics and increasing interest in subjective well-being research the question of the relationship between economics and psychology has again been brought to the fore. Drawing on the history of economic thought this book explores the historical relationship between the two disciplines. The book opens with a description of the primary philosophical foundations for early arguments supporting the interplay between economics and psychology. Both classical economists and other prominent pre-marginalists writers are examined in this context. The ensuing discussion explores the marginalist revolution and how well-known economists like Jevons and Edgeworth influenced by pre-marginalist writers incorporated ideas and findings from psychology. The book then describes how following the so-called “Paretian turn” early neoclassical economists attempted to expel psychological concepts from economic analysis. Combined with the increasing formalization the influence of the classical physics scientific ideal and the impact of positivism this methodological stance became dominant in modern mainstream economics. In contrast non-mainstream traditions continued to acknowledge the significance of psychology in their economic analysis. This tradition includes inter alia the so-called old behavioural economics mainly of Herbert Simon and George Katona. The revival of psychology in economics came mainly with the emergence and development of new behavioural economics as a distinct branch during the last few decades. The trend was further assisted by the emergence of the economics of subjective well-being. Finally the book briefly explores the state of the current debate concerning the relationship between economics and psychology. This book will be invaluable reading to anyone interested in the history of the study of economics and psychology as well as of great interest to students and scholars of history of economic thought psychological economics behavioural economics and the history and philosophy of social sciences. | Economics and Psychology An Uneasy History

The Early History of Economics in the United States The Influence of the German Historical School of Economics on Teaching and Theory

The Early History of Economics in the United States The Influence of the German Historical School of Economics on Teaching and Theory

Since the latter half of the 20th century the economics departments of American universities were internationally renowned for providing competitive and advanced levels of education. However from the 1870s up until the beginning of WWI German universities held international supremacy when it came to the quality of teaching the enrollment of foreign students and scholarly publications. This book examines the role of the German Historical School of Economics (GHSE) in the development of the discipline of economics in the US during this period. The chapters explain that prior to the influence of the GHSE political economy was in a dismal state in the US both as a profession and an academic discipline. As a result many Americans elected to go to Germany in pursuit of an advanced education in political economy having been inspired by the unmatched international reputations of theorists of the GHSE. After they returned home these German-trained Americans challenged the dominant status of classical orthodoxy and revolutionized the discipline of economics in the US by importing the ideas methods and approaches of the GHSE. In doing so they established the first dedicated political economy departments graduate programs and chairs at American universities and colleges. Although the precise magnitude and value of the influence of the GHSE is impossible to quantify there is no doubt that Americans are deeply indebted to this school of thought for its contributions to the early development of the discipline of economics in the US. The chapters also examine what has been lost since: the current mainstream in economics has eliminated many of the features that were once so important to the discipline that it has effectively limited contemporary economics to a small fraction of the complex organism defined by the German Historical School. This situation has facilitated the poverty of the leading economic school of thought as well as the discipline of economics in general. This book represents a significant contribution to the literature on the history of economic thought and economic education in the US. It will be of particular interest to students and scholars of economics political science sociology and the philosophy of economics. | The Early History of Economics in the United States The Influence of the German Historical School of Economics on Teaching and Theory

Complexity Economics Economic Governance Science and Policy

Complexity Economics Economic Governance Science and Policy

Our socio–economic innovation ecosystem is riddled with ever-increasing complexity as we are faced with more frequent and intense shocks such as COVID-19. Unfortunately addressing complexity requires a different kind of economic governance. There is increasing pressure on economics to not only going beyond its traditional mainstream boundaries but also to tackle real-world problems such as fostering structural change enhancing sustained growth promoting inclusive development in the era of the digital economy and boosting green growth while addressing the divide between the financial sector and the real economy. This book demonstrates how to apply complexity science to economics in an effective and instructive way in the interest of life-enhancing policies. The book revolves around the non-negligible problem of why economics to date seems to be inadequate in guiding economic governance to navigate through real and ever-intensifying complex socio–economic and environmental challenges. With its interdisciplinary approach the book scans the nuanced nexus between complexity and economics by incorporating as well as transcending the state-of-the-art literature. It identifies ways to trigger opportunities for behavioural change in the economic profession with respect to how and what to teach introducing and developing further complexity economics taking into account the configuration of its main principles and outlining the silhouette of next-generation economic governance. The book deciphers recommendations for economic theory practice education and economic governance. It will be of interest to students scholars academics think-tank researchers and economic policy practitioners at the national and/or supranational levels. | Complexity Economics Economic Governance Science and Policy

Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies Voices from Around the World

Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies Voices from Around the World

From the financial crash to the climate emergency and Covid- 19 this book demonstrates that recent crises have had unequal impacts they require a heterodox approach to economics for their understanding and new ways of thinking are needed to address them. Drawing on a variety of heterodox and radical perspectives and global voices including those from India Africa and South America this collection explores the causes and impacts of global emergencies from a wide array of viewpoints. The first section outlines how the pandemic has shown up the biases of orthodox thought and policy particularly its Eurocentric and patriarchal focus on the urban formal economy. It outlines how adding an international dimension to institutional analysis uncovers systematic inequalities in the responses to emergencies and how new paradigms can provide better alternatives. The massive interventionism worldwide has led to renewed interest in the global financial system and also in Marxian approaches to money. The second section of the book therefore considers a range of alternative approaches to the study of finance – from Marx to Minsky – which are currently being revisited. The collection concludes with a suggestion for heterodox economics pedagogy since changing economics education is vital for future dissemination of real- world ideas. The book will be of interest to a variety of researchers and postgraduate students and lecturers especially in the fields of development health labour and feminist economics and also international political economy and heterodox economics. | Heterodox Economics and Global Emergencies Voices from Around the World

The Economics of Affordable Housing

The Economics of Affordable Housing

The economic system of competitive capitalism has proven to be both resilient and flexible over time and has contributed to the economic welfare of citizens in liberal and coordinated market economies in diverse regions and countries. At the same time over the entire post-World War II period there has been a notable endemic shortage of affordable housing in many advanced economies. This book points at both the causes and the consequences of this circumstance and provides an integrated economic and legal view of how housing production is dependent on housing finance which in turn means that legal conditions and the sovereign state play an active role. Further the book contributes to the literature from two otherwise partially separated disciplines-housing and urban development studies on the one hand and the institutional centrality of the finance industry in the contemporary economic system on the other. The author asserts that although somewhat assimilated due to the ambitions of policy makers to optimize social and economic welfare for their constituencies the combining of these two realms of expertise generates many favorable outcomes but also some costs derived from finance industry instabilities. The book connects theoretical perspectives and provides an empirical explanation for how affordable housing is generated in an actual real world economy context. The book will be relevant to the work of a number of academic disciplines including economics government studies housing policy and urban planning social geography and law and society. | The Economics of Affordable Housing

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

During the 1950s 1960s and 1970s general levels of alcohol consumption had risen considerably in all parts of the world. In association with this there was a proliferation of alcohol-related problems such as liver disease drunkenness offences marital disharmony and employment difficulties. Many factors influence the probability of alcohol addiction and the habits of drinking; they include age sex race occupation and income. Economic aspects of the use and misuse of alcohol had been attracting increasing attention during the early 1980s. Politicians and scholars alike had drawn attention to the benefits of a vigorous alcohol industry on the one hand and on the other the costs of providing medical social and educational services for those suffering from alcohol-related problems. Originally published in 1983 the real nature of the relationship between economics and alcohol is explored in detail for the first time in this book. It argues for increased participation by economists in the processes of social policy decision-making and considers the key issues of cost-benefit analyses control policies taxation and programme efficiency. No easy solutions are provided but a host of unjustified assumptions about this subject are clarified. This book paved the way for substantial future collaboration between economists and those involved in alcohol studies. | Economics and Alcohol Consumption and Controls

The Economics of Sustainable Development and Distribution The Unfairness and Injustice of Milton Friedman’s Capitalism

The Economics of Sustainable Development and Distribution The Unfairness and Injustice of Milton Friedman’s Capitalism

Drawing on a broad transdisciplinary background this book compares distributive justice systems and related socioeconomic institutions within the liberal and sustainable development traditions. Confronting the capitalist worldview of prominent Nobel Prize–winning economist Milton Friedman the book offers a theoretical framework for sustainable development: a new paradigm of economics grounded in environmental and social issues. The analysis takes as its starting point that the development and evolution of human beings is codetermined by socioeconomic institutions. These institutions facilitate models of society morality and human behaviour: they are all social constructs. This matters because the liberal system of justice uses the claim that ‘life is unfair’ as the justification of socioeconomic inequalities and it is these institutions which determine the concepts of fairness and justice. Therefore the liberal system’s favouring of entrepreneurs should require advance measures to safeguard the interests of the losers—instead it seeks to justify their misfortunes. It is argued that this liberal notion of fairness can only be fairly executed in conditions of perfect market competition which have never existed. In contrast the principles of sustainable development pay attention to the problems generated by the unjust and unfair distribution of resources and postulate wider use of the fairness formula ‘to each according to their needs’. It is thus more focused on fair ends than on fair procedures. This book is addressed to scholars and advanced students in ecological economics environmental economics economics of sustainable development and political science. | The Economics of Sustainable Development and Distribution The Unfairness and Injustice of Milton Friedman’s Capitalism

Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics

The rise and rationalization of the industrial phosphates industry have gone hand in hand with the development and maturation of technologies to purify phosphoric acid. In the 1960s and 70s driven by the exponential sales growth of the detergent-builder sodium tripolyphosphate chemical producers raced to develop processes that would provide a sufficiently pure phosphoric acid feedstock for manufacture to undercut thermal phosphoric acid made from phosphorus. As environmental and political pressure led to a collapse in demand for sodium tripolyphosphate in the 1990s the commercial pressures to rationalize at plant and corporate levels rose such that only the fittest survived. Phosphoric Acid: Purification Uses Technology and Economics the first and only book of its kind to be written on this topic covers the development of purification technologies for phosphoric acid especially solvent extraction describing the more successful processes and setting this period in the historical context of the last 350 years. Individual chapters are devoted to the key derivative products which are still undergoing active development as well as to sustainability and how to approach the commissioning of these plants. The text is aimed at students of chemistry chemical engineering business and industrial history and to new entrants to the industry. | Phosphoric Acid Purification Uses Technology and Economics
