The Economic Growth Debate: An Assessment

Mishan, Edward J.

Unwin Hyman

First published in 1981, Professor Mishan’s Economic Efficiency and Social Welfare: Selected Essays on Fundamental Aspects of the Economic Theory of Social Welfare is a collection of 22 pioneering essays written while the author was teaching at the London School of Economics and chosen to indicate landmarks in the development of his own thought. Professor Mishan, who also enjoys an international reputation as a popular writer on the impact of modern economic growth on social welfare, is among the foremost authorities in the field of resource allocation, and his influence in his subject area has been profound. Mishan’s essays, while generally accessible to the layman due to the author’s lucidity, his economy in the use of mathematical notation and his concern with perspective, are invaluable reading for the economics undergraduate. The essays are particularly relevant to upper level students of project appraisal, welfare economics and cost benefit analysis requiring a coherent survey of their field of study.

An Introduction to Normative Economics

Oxford University Press

When this textbook was first published in 1971, the technique of cost-benefit analysis was scarcely recognized; nowadays it is an essential framework for any study of welfare economics, and continues to generate much controversy, concerned as it is with the fundamental principles on which our society operates. Over three editions the author has tested new ideas and principles against his original methodology, and revised and incorporated material to ensure that it remains one of the most thorough introductions to the subject yet available. Central to the appeal of the book is the lucid explanation of key concepts, and the simple, yet effective expository device of short chapters which encourages steady progress through the book.
