This volume studies the production process, where resources must be committed to specific technological purposes long in advance of the ultimate sale of goods to the consumer. The problems of such a system rest on the durability of the instruments it uses, whose huge expense can only be recouped if they can be used for many years. Yet at the time of investment, those years of use are in the future and uncertain. <BR><BR>The firm is the essential institutional means of confronting this uncertainRoutledge library editions.Economics.MicroeconomicsMicroeconomics.161Shackle G.
