Shackle made numerous, pioneering contributions to the study of uncertainty in economic life. 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.

The firm is the essential institutional means of confronting this uncertain 410 0$aRoutledge library editions.$pEconomics. 606 $aMicroeconomics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMicroeconomics. 676 $a161 700 $aShackle$b G.

Breakthrough Solutions:A New Paradigm for Strategic Visioning?; Index 330 $a"Community visioning is key in helping local public officials and community leaders create a flourishing future for their cities, and is essential for the effective planning of these strategies. Visioning involves collaborative goal setting to motivate actions - of planners, citizens, and officials - in order to set up a strategic plan for the successful development of the community. The use of visioning since the 1980s has led to a wealth of information on the productivity of the paths it has taken. The contributors, all with experience working in the area, review the successes and failures of the strategies, and look at new innovations which are pushing the frontiers of community visioning. This review of the development of visioning focuses on small and medium sized communities in North America. It aims to guide citizens, local leaders and planners on what strategies are best to help them revitalise their communities and ensure a prosperous future"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCommunity development research and practice series ;$vv. 1. 606 $aCommunity life 606 $aCommunities$xPlanning 606 $aCommunity development$xPlanning 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCommunity life. 615 0$aCommunities$xPlanning. 615 0$aCommunity development$xPlanning. 676 $a307.1/160973 701 $aHamm$b Gisele$0927481 701 $aWalzer$b Norman$0141225 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457537403321 996 $aCommunity visioning programs$92083907 997 $aUNINA
