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. 410 0$aRoutledge frontiers of political economy ;$v18. 606 $aEconomics$xPsychological aspects 606 $aConsumer behavior 606 $aSelf-interest 606 $aNeed (Philosophy) 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEconomics$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aConsumer behavior. 615 0$aSelf-interest. 615 0$aNeed (Philosophy) 676 $a330/.01/9 700 $aLevine$b David P.$f1948-$0149111 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449729803321 996 $aSubjectivity in political economy$9661048 997 $aUNINA
