When and why did the United States policy of containment of Iran
come about? How did it evolve? Where is it going? Much has been
said about the US policy of dual containment, particularly as it
pertains to Iraq. However, there has been little in-depth analysis
of this policy when it comes to Iran. Sasan Fayazmanesh explores
this often neglected subject by analyzing the history of this
policy. The analysis includes the role that the Carter and Reagan
Administrations played in the Iran-Iraq war, the numerous sanctions
imposed on Iran by the Clinton Administration and the aggressive
and confrontational policy toward Iran adopted by the George W.
Bush Administration after the events of September 11, 2001. This
topical read synthesises a range of primary sources, including
firsthand reports, newspaper articles and electronic media, and
presents a coherent analysis of the ebbs and flows in the US
thinking on Iran and Iraq.
Throughout his long career as a professional scholar, Paul Dale
Bush has been a cogent theorist, a model practitioner and an ardent
defender of academic freedom and of democratic practices.
Institutionalist Theory and Applications is the second of two
volumes celebrating his career and his contribution to
neo-institutional economics.This volume presents contributions by a
distinguished group of institutionalist scholars: Edythe S. Miller,
Philip A. Klein, James A. Cypher, F. Gregory Hayden, John
Groenewegen, Peter Soderbaum, Charles M.A. Clark, Catherine
Kavanagh and Janice Peterson. The book explores the interdependence
of theory and policy and applies institutional theory to several
problem areas of governance and performance. This book will be of
great interest to postgraduate students and academics in the field
of institutional economics, evolutionary economics, political
economy, history of economic theory, methodology, social economics,
social policy and social value theory.

Whether a theoretical system is realistic or not has been a concern
in economics, particularly in monetary theory, over the past
century. Following John R. Hicks' proposal that a realistic
monetary theory could be constructed along an evolutionary path,
starting with the workings of a real market, this volume considers
whether we can look to the medieval economy as the point of
departure. Drawing upon the work of Aristotle, scholastic
economists, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, William Stanley Jevons, Leon
Walras and many modern monetary theorists, this intriguing book
provides a critical analysis of some basic theories of monetary
analysis. Concentrating primarily on certain fundamental building
blocks it covers: the theory and mathematical properties of barter
and monetary relations the distinction between barter and monetary
relations and money and non-money commodities the concept of
exchange as an equation, and the notion of the exchange relation as
a relation of equality. This groundbreaking study dispels some of
the old myths and conjectures concerning money and exchange and
opens up the way for the development of new approaches, both
realistic and evolutionary, of interest to researchers and students
of the history of monetary theory and economic thought.

"Money and Exchange" draws upon the work of Aristotle, scholastic
economists, Adam Smith, Karl Marx, William Stanly Jevons and Leon
Walras, as well as some modern monetary theorists, to provide a
critical analysis of some basic theories that form the starting
point of monetary analysis. It concentrates primarily on certain
interrelated and fundamental building blocks of monetary theory,
such as the difficulties of barter as the origin of money, the
concept of exchange as an equation, the notion of the exchange
relation as a relation of equality, the distinction between barter
and monetary relations, and money and non-money commodities.
This groundbreaking study dispels some of the old myths and
conjectures concerning money and exchange and opens up the way for
the development of new approaches to monetary theory - approaches
that are both realistic and evolutionary. It will be of particular
interest to researchers and students of monetary theory and
history, and the history of economic thought.
Paul Dale Bush has been an imaginative and important contributor to
the neo-institutionalist economic literature in the United States
for over three decades. This is the first of two volumes presenting
a tribute to this highly influential scholar.The majority of Paul
Dale Bush's recent scholarly writings have addressed the
clarification and refinement of the pragmatic instrumentalist model
of inquiry. This book first reviews Dale Bush's main contributions
to academic life and to neo-institutional scholarship.
Internationally recognized contributors - Phillip Anthony O'Hara,
Erkki Kilpinen, Geoffrey M. Hodgson, Kurt Dopfer, Warren J.
Samuels, Edythe S. Miller, Ann L. Jennings and William Waller -
then provide a penetrating analysis of the Veblen-based
neo-institutionalist theoretical approach to inquiry and its
reflection in social value theory. This book will be of great
interest to postgraduate students and scholars in the field of
institutional economics, political economy, history of economic
thought, methodology and social value theory.
