{"product_id":"comparisons-in-economic-thought","title":"Comparisons in Economic Thought","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe idea of comparing rewards with others has a long and persistent presence in the social sciences, and can be found in many psychological, social and managerial theories. In economics, this idea can be traced back through the works of a substantial number of eminent thinkers, from Genovesi and Hume, to Smith, Ricardo, Marx, and Mill, through to Veblen, Pigou, and Keynes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the last two decades the notion of social comparisons has started to appear more frequently in economic literature, especially in the subfield of happiness research. There are also signs that the notion has resurfaced in some strands of literature such as positional concerns, social identity models and social capital theory. \u003ci\u003eComparisons in Economic Thought\u003c\/i\u003e offers a uniquely comprehensive account of how social comparisons have featured in the history of economic thought. This book provides an assessment as to why social comparisons have been dismissed by mainstream economists and considers their current and future usefulness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume is suitable for those who are interested and study history of economic thought, economic methodology and History of Consumer Theory, as well as Rational Choice Theory. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54248412545368,"sku":"9781138850545","price":204.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138850545.jpg?v=1769639427","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/comparisons-in-economic-thought","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
