In it, the author argues that the assumptions typically made by economists regarding want and choice cannot adequately lay a foundation for answering important questions about the design of economic institutions and the appropriate use of markets. This volume offers an exciting and unusual contribution to political economy, offering a novel integration of the insights of political economy, philosophy, and psychology, applying them to vital foundational issues in political economy.Routledge frontiers of political economy ;18.EconomicsPsychological aspectsConsumer behaviorSelf-interestNeed (Philosophy)EconomicsPsychological aspects.Consumer behavior.Self-interest.Need (Philosophy)330/.01/9Levine David P.1948-149111MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827168603321Subjectivity in political economy661048UNINA
