Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'Uzawa has again contributed to the economic analysis of socially important problems. His treatment of social common capital shows the power of economic theory and is marked by Uzawa's customary clarity of exposition and mastery of analysis.' Kenneth Arrow, Nobel Laureate, Stanford University 'Professor Uzawa pioneered the economics of social common capital decades before it received the empirical attention it deserved. If theoretical explorations of the subject haven't received a contemporary airing, here it is. This is vintage Uzawa: deep, elegant, and highly relevant.' Sir Partha Dasgupta, University of Cambridge 'In this masterful volume, using the tools of mathematical economics, Hirofumi Uzawa shows how economic performance is critically tied to what he terms 'social common capital' - collective goods that must be provisioned through social and political mechanisms that lie beyond the market. The volume is an intriguing and accomplished piece of work by a highly distinguished scholar.' Richard Howarth, Dartmouth College 'No one but Hiro Uzawa could produce so precise, careful, and complete an analysis of the main forms of common property resources to be found in modern industrial society. Fortunately he has done it and provided about as much intellectual unity as seems appropriate. Filling in the worldly details will be worked on by many people for many years, but now there is a framework, indeed a common resource.' Robert Solow, Nobel Laureate, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Read more...
