J. E. Meade is among the most distinguished of contemporary
economists, noted for his contributions to economic theory and
policy. This volume presents a series of models of economic
systems, each built on greatly simplified assumptions about human
motives, technology, and social institutions, and undertakes in
each case a series of exercises to examine the links of causal
relationship in each case.This systematic treatment of the whole
field of economic analysis on these lines is a rigorous and elegant
non-mathematical statement of the basic principles and problems of
contemporary economic theory. The volume is based on models of
systems in which there are no capital goods, and in which
consumer's tastes, technical knowledge, and the size and
composition of the population are static.This sophisticated
restatement of the fundamentals of economic theory also deals with
the basic methodological problems of economic analysis. Given the
complexity of variables inherent in all economic systems, how is
the economist to proceed in dealing with a particular set of
interrelated problems? And further, how can the economist be
confident that the verdict is more likely to be right than wrong?
Meade considers these and other questions in a book important not
only to professional economists and their students, but also to
those more generally interested in economic policy.
