Approaching the problem through a history of economic thought, Johnson reexamines Adam Smith's contributions to show how they reach beyond neoclassical models that are too simplistic to reflect the growing interdependencies of market economies. He breaks down supposedly value-free neoclassical postulates to expose normative assumptions about economics and justice, demonstrating, for example, that the concept of market equilibrium is problematic because need-based behavior can produce involuntary unemployment even when a competitive labor market achieves equilibrium. 410 0$aPerspectives from Social Economics,$x2662-3978 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 606 $aLabor Economics 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 14$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 676 $a302.1 700 $aJohnson$b Roger D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0188426 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255027903321 996 $aRediscovering Social Economics$92149543 997 $aUNINA
