Series Statement:
The Graz Schumpeter Lectures
Content:
Traditional welfare economics works with the assumption of the fully rational economic agent (homo economicus) whose preferences are fixed. To the contrary, this book presents a theory of welfare economics that maintains the principles of normative individualism while allowing for adaptive or changeable preferences.
